BBi Slave review
#16
if you dont flush ALL of the petosin from the clutch reservoir , the master cylinder, and all the line from front to rear your bbi unit will fail in weeks. petosin runs thru the entire system and must be flushed or it will eat the seals in the bbi unit. simply rerouting the fluid from the p/s unit wont work long term
Yep, put in the new master today, flushed system one more time and then put in DOT.
Other than being a little stiff, it is an absolute joy to drive vs the stock set up. GT3 spring will be in tomorrow. If that takes 10%-20% of the stiffness out, it is perfect.

The GT2 setup is not like the BBi, so I have no idea how stiff yours is compared to mine. I would like to take about 10%-20% out of it and it will be perfect for me. Might not for others, but that is what I love about Porsche's, you can make them how you want them.

BBi markets their kit as being slightly less stiff than the GT2 slave conversion but I recall folks that have tried both saying they are essentially the same...a lot stiffer than stock.
The GT3 spring makes a big difference.

I am curious how much stiffness you get out of each setup. For example, is the GT2 and EVOM kit as stiff as the BBi slave. I mean mine is STIFF, real stiff. I am a 49 year old guy in good shape so I can handle it, but my wife would never be able to drive it. I bet it is not twice as stiff as stock, but three times. Luckily, there are options. I am trying to GT3 spring as the guy who did the BBi did one and really liked it, but there are other options too, like springs from Lowes. If that does not work, I will try another one till I get it dialed.

Ok, not sure what is going on. Got it in, but when you fully depress, it comes of the posts where it is seated. Also, the pin in the rod that comes out of the back of the housing is loose when it is in and is coming out. What am I doing wrong?

Figured it out. Rod in the shaft is just for holding the assembly together during shipping and when installing. You remove is when installed. I think it took about 15% of the stiffness out. Need to drive it, hard to tell sitting my my garage. Going to button her up and take her for a spin.

15% additional removal of stiffness seems okay...in my impression vs. no spring it was like a 50% reduction. Maybe compared to the TT spring it is a 25% difference. Anyways, hope you like it.
