Any News cause i already buy one set of hose

Kevin

We had a minor production tooling is (breakage) that required await to get a new one made and installed. Back up and running now.

Raymond, I haven't received a order from you? Email me your details.

I heartily recommend the 996TT oil feed side check valves AND the turbo sump return lines offered by Kevin. 6 years ago after a mechanic did an oil change (Mahle filters), I ended up with a lot of smoke and oil in the turbos, turbo hoses, and IC. The turbos were ruined and had to be replaced. I ended up replacing them with Kevin's hybrids, but only AFTER installing the 996 check valves on the oil supply side and the Andial P-trap return lines on the sump return side. I've since only used Porsche filters and have been careful to keep the oil level at or near the bottom mark on the dipstick. Knock on wood, no problems in the last 6 years. To me, this fix is a no-brainer and should be on every 993TT.

thank you just receive your hose

delray993tt

is a mahle filter as good as a genuine porsche filter?

Kevin

Delray, I probably have posted 20 times "not" to use the Mahle filters.

There is a sticky on top of this forum pages where it is written NOT to use the Mahle filter.

If you have them installed you will HAVE oil and smoking issues!

thanks for response kevin-i'm new here. i called the local porsche dealer-champion in pompano beach fl-they quoted me different prices for the two genuine filters-left & right. are they different??

Chuck W.

Very different; one is large and one is small. Also, don't over tighten them. If you do, it could cause smoke and oil leaks. Ask me how I know.

o.k.-how do you know?

Kevin

This thread has some very good information for those that are having the traditional SPRING time oil smoking, oil leaking blues..

Any updates on 996TT oil feed side check valves AND the turbo sump return lines for the 993tt?. Are they still available?

I ordered and paid for mine in June. I remain optimistic he will get around to shipping them one day!
