Great work George, this has really inspired me to do the same, then paint the calipers yellow. Are your wheels the turbo S chromethingyfinish ? This is on my list too

Thanks John for the encouragements

As for the wheels finish, they are the original techno finish, close to arctic silver.
For the turbo S finish, you will find several reputable UK companies who could do
them for you. Google 'aluminum Ion Vapour deposition' or IVD or ivadising.
The original process of the Turbo S wheels, all my best

This is awesome! Great craftsmanship. Maybe I missed it, but where do the ducts actually vent to?
After buying old BMW and Porsche parts for several years, I, like you, have noticed a steep upward trend in the prices of the 90s sports car parts. When justifying buying parts we "need" for my wife's M3, I always argue that it could be much more expensive later if we don't buy it now!

. Well done my friend.

I didn't have George's engineering skillz
but I had a shop that dissected a customer's Turbo S to measure & examine everything:Now with factory rear Turbo S ducts.
I gained confidence in her correct completion, they impressed me by many 'over & above' efforts, such as disassembling related portions of a 993 Turbo S for examination - more than once! wow - & consulting an Andial expert in person.
I took the following. It's the specific 993 Turbo S that was partially dissected & studied for installation of Speedy's OEM Turbo S rear inlets.
If you recognize where this collection is or who it belongs to, DO NOT post that. I got special permission to share, for enthusiasts' enjoyment of the cars, not for ID of the owner.
