Paul, good news! Just goes to show how advanced the boost control is on our cars, despite their age. ECU must've adjusted to atmospheric conditions when I was driving the car. I'm curious to see if mine has any more leaks.

Looking forward to trying the fatter rubber.

Love the white and aerokit! Makes me want to get another 996TT as a street car... Too bad the aerokit is NLA.

I did a quick write-up here:

Note that I am not a pro... There are others that know more than me and have different procedures and suggestions. I'm just writing up what i did, which worked pretty damn well.

Thank you!

are you running both front and rear? Or just rear?

I was going to install just the rear Eibach sway (I only ordered the rear) as I have read that's where I'd see the biggest improvement. Debating on if I should just get the front and do both at the same time.

What was supposed to happen...

So today, I was expecting to, after insuring the car for road use on Saturday, get the car over to the shop and have the clutch/flywheel, pinning, water pump, 6 new injectors, thermostat, voltage regulator, billet diverters, 3.5" EVO intercoolers, silicon hoses, belt, BBI, oil change, new filter, then this happened... just enough snow that I couldn't get it out of the garage, and up the very slight incline...! The one time I don't believe the weather guy...
