Questions:
1) Did you weight all of the stuff that came out? Wonder how much weight was shaved off the car.
2) Is there a SAI wall clock art in the works?
- The pump assembly has some heft. I'll weigh the remains today and edit the thread.
- My thought was to fashion a high-tech hookah for ol' Cactus...

Congratulations Andreas. And I am jealous.

funny you should say that, I just did it about an hour ago, so good point... I am watching the tread leave my rear tires at a pretty fast pace. I guess it will get old eventually (or I may grow up) but so far it is just fun.
But still, I really hate extraneous smog crap.
BTW, before someone gets upset at my dislike for SAI pumps, my 993tt is now "green(er)".
I had to get a smog check just last week and the before and after numbers were pretty different.
After the top end job this thing is practically an air
cleaner .

Great write-up. Must feel great to get your car just the way you want it, and do it yourself.
The Yellow Porsche was a great touch.

Big A, how does the car sound (throatier or deaper tone)? Do you feel any HP gain?
Thanks,
Ken
