Oh, that's not my car. That's a much admired short run carbon fiber brace from chez Porsche for the 968 T RS that we all admire but can't find anywhere!

No pins like that on a turbo S, only the RS.

And what does the NACA duct on the left of that photo do? great photo.

forgot to ask, where do you get the hood with the huge hole for the intercooler air exit out the top of the hood.

I love that hood, and I bet it makes a substantial performance increase.

Cut a hole in your hood and drop the vent piece in.

The passenger side naca is there just for looks. The turbo RS gets the hood opening. You can buy a copy of that opening from fitzgerald racing in australia.

Thanks for the sources, next project underway. Does anyone know where water ends up when it enters these openings during rain or simply washing the car.

That was a one off car. Not sure if that was built with ITB's by Porsche or done later. It has a lot of very trick stuff. The guys that drove it to Hershey did not know the history too well.

Well, we it's safe to assume the blue hose sections were not put there by Porsche.

Well, atleast the clamps look right

Yeah, I am not a big fan of those blingy hose colors. If I ever have to run non stock, I buy it in blk.

Did you speak to them? They were extremely vague in their answers. I asked them who did some of the work and they couldn't answer.

I spoke with them for some time at the celebration. They were great guys. (Although good 'ol boys)
Perhaps it was your approach.
They knew quite a bit, but not all the little technical details. They have worked for the owners family for over 20 years. And had been involved with alot of their more high profile vehicles (917 and a huge Ferrari collection)
