Insane build. Diogo is the man. Really love the 992 shifter. And the CF roof. And all of it really!

Yeah, I'm curious as well if anyone has successfully done a RWD 997.2 conversion (remove prop shaft/front diff/front axles) and not have warning lights or TC/ABS/etc. problems.

min pretty sure it’s been done by BBi and probably others but not sure what all has to be done for a successful conversion. I believe e ABS unit has to be replaced as part of it.

Added the GT2RS rear gurney. The GT2 one is a lot smaller and doesn't curve up. This one is a lot more noticeable..

Looks great! The visible CF gurney blade is on my to do list but I haven't been able to stomach the price. Is that one OEM?

Amazing build... Was the shifter swap plug and play on the shifter? No special wiring?

Hi buddy, sorry for the late reply. My car is 997.2 turbo s. I did not modify the turbo, I just removed the stage 2 tune as I want to daily the car and want better fuel consumption. My friend has a 991.2 turbo he went with the Tial turbo so he kept VTG and running 25psi boost and insane speed! hope this helps!
