Nope! Everything is just as Porsche intended as far as complete functionality I did notch the transmission crossmember to clear the 3" exhaust. In a nutshell, I have the engine mods, a completely fabbed turbo system from the exhaust ports to the tailpipes, and the air filters to the throttle body. Its actually really quiet until you get on it. All the engine bay panels fit as intended. Even if your Cayenne familiar, the only givaway with the hood open is the single aluminum intake pipe.

I have the drivers side panels off while Im installing the new fuel system.
Quick shot of the front mount. Anybody who says side mounts are better for this application obviously do not have the data or experience to make the statement. The Cayenne has so much frontal area for air intake and a great cooling system. When I stop, my charge temps continue to drop as the radiator fan(s) are still pulling air across the cooler. Im sleeved and with the front mount I am not having or expecting any cooling issues even @ elevated ambient temps and power levels.

HOW TF did I miss this thread? Have you or are you hitting up any of the Austin or DFW C&C events? I'd love to take a look at this thing.
Very similar to what I wanted to do with a 957 but WAY too many questions on fueling and tuning for me, I can't even get continental to answer an email about injectors. So I started building a fully 4 linked 550hp/tq Suburban.Talk about the polar opposite end of the ignorant beastly vehicle scale, lol!

Thanks JD!
I am trying to get in the queue with getting a tune file made. Still, tuning- or should I say a lack of availability, is what really gets me nervous. I am ready, the Pig is ready.
