Well, the OEM GT3 A/C lines have finally arrived. After many delays. Just waiting for them to fit me in, and it will all be bolted on. Finally.
So, I read the whole thread (more than once, because it skips pages on mobile) and the only thing that I can’t find ans really wish you had posted are pictures of the original AC lines and a depiction of how they’re in the wrong place.
Do you have any pictures from when the work was being done?

thanks 👍
Hey ZerOG, The stock air con lines run across the front of the body. Just a straight line from east to west. The GT3 has an Air box that attaches too the body, so the A/C lines are blocking that box from being mounted hard against the body. So you remove the GTS Air con lines, mount the air box to body (The locating pins are all there unused by GTS) and then I had to buy GT3 lines which wrap around the box.
The box and ducting channel the air after it has been through the centre radiator and vents it to above the car out of the GT3 vent, negating lift. Whereas GTS it just vents to below the car causing lift.

So you i understand that you don’t have any pictures, either before or after this change.
Mine is a 911S and I have a complete GT3 front bumper that’s simply been take off so everything that attaches to it is still on.
I’m trying to figure out exactly what’s missing, before starting the work.
If it changing the AC lines so they go somewhere else, I’d actually prefer getting them made locally by a race-part fabrication shop than OEM parts.
Quick update on progress. MoTeC have now scanned my car. It is doable. Its not cheap. Its pretty much the same cost as the bar, and there are always extras and hidden costs.
It will allow me to do full port injection and Flex Fuel. meaning I just top the tank up with E85, upto 100% E85 and it automatically adjusts. When not racing, top up with 98 and it adjusts back.
Saves worrying about the 50/50 mix all the time. I can have more power at the track, and more green miles on the street. OK, Even I can't believe I said that.
With MoTeC I can run motorsport ABS. That's another $15K, but worth it for the track. Then there's another $15 to up grade the turbo's. It never ends. But its part of the fun and the journey.
Brembo GTS BBK on GTS
Just a couple of pics to see progress.
This poor McLaren was scratching his head when he had it pinned down the straight and I just pulled out and over took him like he was braking.

GTS vs McLaren
Do you really need Motec for flex fuel? Guys do it with a stock Subaru ecu and a $100 sensor
I think you mean 991 hoods for that. 991.2 Are closer to $19K. If you do mean 991.2 then please supply link.
It depends, are you trying to buy straight from Porsche or 2nd hand? I know a few that are taken off 991.2 GT3RS when they received their weissach hoods.
