While i have not done it cant u just get 2 axle stubs from a junk yard like dc auto, remove the front diff, axle shafts and driveshaft and be done? U dont need to swap uprights or shocks eventhough it would be best for suspension geometry.

yes, I managed to get two axles stubs for a killer price, they'll be here Friday.

For plugging the airbox you can use this cap with the o-ring from the original fitting.

I reuse the axle nuts because the old ones have a floating washer which the new ones don't. I doubt the locking element has much effect on a 400 nm torqued nut anyway.

If I could get those I would. The last few batches I got are one piece and I really don't like them. Send me that PN so I can get some!

The bag part# paf001784 is a valid number in the Delaware porsche online catalog. The original number i got off autoatlantas site was 99908464101. This part # matches the bags i have from fcp and they were all floating washer too.

Managed to get the 82mm IPD plenum and “GT3” throttle body installed this afternoon. Did a throttle adaptation beforehand and it cranked right up first time. Hopefully I can take it for a drive early tomorrow…

That thing sounds very, very good. What mufflers are you running?

How did the connector pipe from the air box the TB work out? I need to work this out as well.

Thanks, appreciate that!

It’s a full Fabspeed exhaust with an X pipe. I used the IPD supplied boot for now; tight fit but that could be because I flipped it around to hide the logo.

Realised one thing I do need to work on though, I totally forgot the Tiptronics used a Venturi tube to bypass the throttle body. I’ll get the manual version installed one day as I don’t want to install a breather vent. So for now the open end is blocked off with electrical tape. Yes, electrical tape.
