:( That makes me sad. I like a good healthy debate and it's a good learning tool for me. I am surprised that Burns disagrees that exhaust backpressure is detrimental to power output in a turbo...

This doesn't apply to a turbocharger exit. N/A engine exhaust ports produce pulsed flow as a factor of valve opening/closing events. This pulsed flow results in compression and expansion waves...

Yes. The 993 one is correct. I just replaced my 944 windshield and used the 9930541-925-00 seal. I have a new factory Porsche 993/944 seal available if you are needing to buy one. I had an extra...

Welcome Gbos1 from a fellow 993tt and 944T owner. You won't be disappointed. Although the 993 is an exceptional car, I'd keep the 944 over the 993 any day!

It's all relative. I still have my 944T and thought that it was the worst designed engine bay in the world when first getting it sorted. Then moved on to a 993TT and thought the same thing. Air...

Cutting a giant hole in the cover of the airbox improves power over the stock cover due to reduced intake restriction. No doubt about it. It's dyno proven and also done by the factory race team for a...
