I'll be doing the 60K service on my car next month and am looking for suggestions on items. Already have orange turbo hoses, billet diverter valves,Ruf suspension, fresh brake fluid, trans and front diff fluid, clutch and power steering fluid and pollen filters. Clutch and turbos are still good, so I can't justify LWF or hybrids yet.....

Here's what I plan so far:

Spark plugs
Dist cap and rotor
air filter
fuel filter
Fan, alt and A/C belts

Operators are standing by!

Orange turbo hoses? Where did you get them? How much? Do you have pics? Also the billet diverter, do you notice any difference? I am looking at my 60k service soon as well and have thought of the upgrades you have done. Curious to hear your experiences.. THanks.

The orange end turbo hoses are just the latest model factory part from the dealer. My old plastic diverter valves were still functional, so no improvement in performance with the billet valves.

Don, unless you do a pressure test you do not really know if the old valves are still good. In many cases, they have deteriorated and are either leaking boost or do not transition back to boost between stifts properly. You are wise to replace them.

Don't forget to bleed the clutch. Remember that the clutch Pentosin reservoir is on the firewall on the driver side....

You might check you plug wires resistance while everything is apart.... They die with heat and age..

And my god man, have you not been reading all of these threads recently. Justification for mods is as they or our Govenor says, 'for girlie men'.... Just DO IT..

Thanks for the inputs Bob. The clutch was flushed when I did the other fluids. I'll check those plug wires. I've overmodded(oxymoron?) many other cars and made them unusable, resulting in their sale. I've been very deliberate in my TT mods over the last 9 years to avoid that problem, as this one's a keeper.
