Just trying to think outside the box ... be nice if you could get it up on a ramp and spray soapy water on bladder and pressure lines and even better if you could get the front bumper off to get better access. Its an interesting problem even though its a major PIB for you! Ill try and find parts listing to see where the hardware runs ...

The physical differences between 77 and 78 would not be significant enough to cause the failure (again repeatedly) - no?

Good luck !

ps - see he's onto that ! https://rennlist.com/forums/991-turb...l#post17390494


Thanks again folks!! I appreciate any / all thoughts on it.

I'm holding out hope it's something simple... Bad part is I can't get to it for a few weeks due to some training I'll be attending.

I am hoping to have some time to test out the 100 map here this weekend and trying to resist the urge to jump up to stage 4 (for now). I also added a set of .2 RS side skirts, some more efficient tint and had the stock wheels powder coated gloss black to provide some more contrast against the GT Silver exterior. The car has been a blast and I am looking forward to getting some more time behind the wheel to really enjoy it!









We do have twins now, since you did the black wheels. I bought a spare set in black a while back.

Drives fine otherwise, so no rush I guess.
This should be covered under warranty

Great weather here today. Mid 70’s. I flogged the turbo for about two hours on back roads after dropping my daughter at a birthday party. I absolutely love this car. The Kline sounds soooo good! This is car 41 for me. I think this is the keeper I never thought existed!

Added Zunsport front grills a few weeks ago.
Changed the terrible throttle boot and replaced with a beefier 2019 part. Kept popping off due to extra boost.
Changed crest to silver.
Changed center caps to black/silver.
Finally got my gloss black emblems, need to put them on.
Took some pics.

Default Gloss black wind diffusers

New gloss black window trim from Suncoast. I had ordered these when I first got the car because the mirrors have the optional gloss black paint and it looked unfinished with the matte black.

I was hesitant to to it because of having to pry the interior part off and possible damage to the leather or the LCA wires. The Install was super easy and took all of five minutes to do both sides.





My other project did not turn out well. I replaced the stone guard on the passenger side. Lined it up right. I washed my hands well and then washed them with pure alcohol and I still left fingerprints all over. ordering more for a do over.

thanks, was hoping for a more reasonably priced source for those items, I cringe to think of spending that amount on them !

Yeah, Porsche tax. I tried a few ways to make the chrome emblems black, but was not happy with the outcome.

I was considering trying to use signage film to accomplish that, did you try that ?
