My biggest fear was removing the exhaust, It came off very easy, surprisingly. Everything has been sent off, Now I'm just waiting things to get back. and parts from the Porsche dealer to arrive. I decided to use all Porsche dealer parts, My local dealer gives me a deal on parts,

The diaphragm looks great, no tears, just a little dirty, From what I can tell the spring looks to be stock, surprising clean, Spring Length = 7.0 inch Outer diameter = 2.70 inch, Number of effective coils = 5.5, Wire diameter = 0.196 inch. I ordered a RUF 0.9 bar spring. I don't trust the manual boost controller. does any have a RUF spring in their 965. if yes what's your thoughts.
I had the parts coated in CeraKote, Cerakote a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers, and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Very popular in the firearms industry. I love the stuff looks amazing.
