For me I just didn't realize it wasn't a turbo car. But for any true car guy it doesn't matter to me the car if I can help him

I think it's great that you want to help him. Maybe communicating via PM would have been more appropriate. I think discussing work on a non-996 Turbo for 135 posts on a 996 Turbo forum is outside the intent of this specific forum, even for those that understood what the thread starter was doing. Just my opinion.

Then again maybe there are those here that will be willing to enter into a discussion regarding how to attach a 996 Turbo wing on a Boxster.

Your car looks really nice. Do you think in the long run it would have been less expensive to purchase a used a Turbo?

If they are willing to put up with your **** they are more than likely willing to help somebody that isnt nearly as abrasive, just my opinion

For those who rendered help on my so crazy project I thank ever so much. Finally it lives. For those who kind of snubbed their noses cause the car isn't a factory built turbo. Please remember this is a hobby and usually forums are for the hobbyist, and usually we help each other. I've been wrenching on aircraft's for over 30yrs and I'm always willing to help anyone, regardless not so prestigious status in this place. Here is a short vid.

Your tuner gave me the answer. It was the harness like he said. He also gave other point to work on.

Okay guys and ladies You never know who is reading this. My remarks of snub noses was to bring light as to how some view others, I did not mean it as malevolent statement to insult anyone. I guess some took it a bit strong. Please keep in mind the title of this forum is turbo technical. Also without the engine the car would just be a regular carrera. The components make the car not the hull.
