Today I was able to play hooky and take it for its first proper test drive after the plug change: a quick trip up to Nude Hampster and back.

It seems like it has a bit more power than the last time I drove it. Maybe because it's not now sucking oil out of the right-side turbo. Or maybe my butt-o-meter is suffering from confirmation bias.

In any case, I'm reminded of how nucking futs fun these things are even in stock form.





Some random parts trivia.

This is the turbo-side of the left-side charge hose. One black rubber seal.



This is the turbo-side of the ride-side charge hose. It has the black rubber seal and another green seal. Clearly Porsche added this extra seal on the right side to keep oil from dripping out of the "catch can" hose.



There's a single rubber seal at the output end of the hoses. All of those seals like to come out when you clean the inside of the hoses.

Nucking futs for sure... I share the same sentiment with mine being stock.

Has anyone had their tube under the hood that tucks into the drivers side and fuels the windshield washer fluid break??

I was trying to use washer fluid the other day on our Tail of the Dragon trip and it shot off the side and very low, not coming out the normal spray vents.

I noticed the plastic tube that tucks into an inclosed area and splits off to bother drivers and passengers side sprayers was broken in half.

I guess that thing just gets brittle and broke.

Anybody ever replaced it?? Difficult?

Wow, I don't think I've ever used the washer. LOL. Yes, I've used the wipers in the rain, just haven't used the washers. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Yup, both the 2012 C2S and just recently my Turbo S, Paid the dealer $89.00 to replace it on the Turbo S.
