as chrisc10 just noted the only coils are now superseded 997 part numbers bosch or beru are virtually the same. i use the beru. same with plugs. use gt2 plugs. they no longer suggest a "5" range spark plug which was OEM fitment when new. the hotter "6" plug better suits the car tuned or not.

Just tightened the hose clamp on the F tube to the diverter valves where it comes off the y pipe. Guess I left it loose after replacing the wastegate actuator rods and adjusting them. It went back to 1.1 bar, was only getting .9. Makes a BIG difference. Started breaking up a little around 4k, guess it's time for plugs. Can it break up like that and not throw a code?

Drove the Porsche for my 80 mile roundtrip commute for the first time, most of the trip unfortunately is on not very well paved highway. What a car. I just can't get enough of flooring the throttle at 4k RPMs and leaving all the suckers behind. Makes you feel sorry when you get home.

Changed my plugs today. The old Beru plugs had a gap of about .045. runs much better now no more break up at 4-5K and full boost. It also seems to have almost eliminate the low speed partial throttle hiccup i was experiencing. Took about 3 hours.

Wet-sanded and polished one of my headlights. I thought they were looking slightly cloudy after parking next to another 996TT at a PCA gathering over the weekend. It didn't make any visual difference comparing it to the other one that I didn't do, so I either need heavier grit sandpaper or I'm going crazy.

Yesterday - Replaced the broken variocam solenoid bracket on the right side.
If you're planning on doing anything under the heat shields over the valve covers - take an extra minute per side and pull these brackets and inspect for cracks!
T10Chris just reminded me to sand and polish my gross-looking headlights.

Unless I am missing something, clear bra wont do anything to help if the lights are already hazey/cloudy, but adding clear bra after polishing them would be a good idea.

I have to admit I was a bit squeamish to take sandpaper to these headlights at first, but it's pretty easy to work with. Have fun with it!
