I watched a couple videos... thus, my reluctance, but business has been in the toilet this year, so I am somewhat motivated to figure this out myself.

You do not want to end up like me, and learning the hard way that after you put everything back together, one connector was not full secured back in place, and you start misfiring few miles down the road.
Lol.... I had the exact same problem (not fully seated coil connector) first time I did Turbo plugs... Fortunately it was able to get it clipped back on.

I had a link to this thread on spark plug change procedure in my notes from years ago, I didn't check again it carefully, but it is a pretty good checklist.

Connectors with those little locking tabs are my favorites...

I tried doing plugs without removing the bumper, wasted a good hour with little progress (extremely tight), before finally removing it. So much easier.. I recall removing the wires was a lot easier, if you unbolt the coils first..

I think that is a little beyond my skill set....

Thanks Fellas; I'm going to change the oil Sunday and I'll have a look at taking it apart...

Default Washed it , got it inspected
I got it a pretty good wash. Got it to pass Texas emissions inspection. Then went to my local bar. Gave my bartenders 11 year old boy a hot lap. Now another boy will grow up dreaming about a Porsche.


The turbo key is on my old M635CSI key chain.

Grilled some pretty good ribeyes. Mashed potatoes and salad.

Amazing how a 1980s Webber is still producing excellent quality results.

Default Treasure Chest
A friend was modifying his 02tt and had a box of leftovers…

rear pccb calipers, one front pccb(very rough),
front & rear stock calipers, 4 nice rotors & a factory x73 springs with x73 bilsteins (taken off at 20,000 miles).
