LWF on a turbo car - INSTALLED !

Mine was installed for the previous owner by Patrick Motorsports. No stalling issues and no problem getting her moving. Only issue is that when gearing up, you need to be relatively quick because the lack of momentum results in fast RPM reduction while going through neutral. All the Porsches I've owned do not like being up shifted really quickly so there is a fine line. Compared to my dual mass in the 996 turbo, the LWF is a dream in responsiveness.

That pic was taken after the stage 1 install. I will have my usual mechanic install the RS LWF.
Did you decide on which route to go o your engine mod yet?
Looking at your avatar, is Protosport doing the work on your car?

FVD have a short shifter for the 993 turbo.........it isn't stupidly short as some of the 996 generation shifters are.
i found it shortened it just enough, that it worked PERFECTLY with the LWF dropping revs so quickly

RS LWF is installed and summary of of findings:
1. Engine response from stand still 100% faster
2. Car pulls faster
3. Stalled 2X, but otherwise no issues. ECU seems to have adapted to the faster dropping RPM and 99% manages to ref the engine by itself to avoid stalling
4. I can hear the FL at idle, but it does not bother me
Well worth mod IMHO. Thanks for everyone's input and push to the next level of slippery slope.

How about a short shift kit? Ive been contemplating this one, but really hate to hammer out the center tunnel to make clearance for it. Folks have said this is one of the three major must do's -the other's being the LWF and new coilovers.

I'm thinking of a LWF for my car. What kit did you use?
