Default Rerommended Books / Manuals for DIY

Guys-
Sorry if this has been covered before (what hasn't?) but I'd appreciate any and all recommendations on good books, service manuals, etc that cover DIY maintenance, repairs, upgrades, etc. 993tt in particular, of course. :-)

TIA-

Brandon
P.S. just noticed my typo in the title - and edit won't allow me to fix it....ruh roh.

honestly, just read and search these forums. Tons of stuff ranging from replacing headlights to engine drops/turbo removal/2wd conversions, etc has been covered ehre.

Check out http://www.pcarworkshop.com, mostly NA 993 stuff but I will be adding Turbo articles
Shop Manuals?
TSB's?
Porsche shop videos? (yes, they exist)
Training in basic mechanic skills?

And just participating and over time you will absorb lots of knowledge.

Cheers,

Mike

+993. Big thick book with lots of info! I used to take it on the plane with me for reading material, but I got sick of carrying it around after a while.
