Yup, its been replaced as it was leaking - that was not cheap as the Turbo S has its own special intercoolers that can only come from porsche, £1200 just for the part.

Have another

Surely it would be cheaper to get a bespoke item made ? #PORSCHETAX

[LincolnLovin]

I’ve no idea, but bespoke = takes time to build, the car had been off the road for long enough.

Plus you’d then need to find some to do that and then get it installed etc etc. I just want to be able to drive the car

Now I can get planning my road trip to Stuttgart!

Get the Powerflex bush I posted, made a very noticeable difference on mine.

[LincolnLovin]

I think mine was changed. Or maybe changed and then removed. Need to have a look at it. If I keep the car then that is an easier job to swap out.

yay!
Does this mean its time to mod it

You need to fit bigger intercoolers if you want to maximize the boost...

[LincolnLovin]

It’s plenty fast as it is tbh, I think 600 might be possible with a remap and pre cats removed but honestly I’d rather keep it stock for now.

If I do keep it, getting it overland modded is the most likely option.

[honest_delboy]

My instagram feed keeps showing overland conversions which look the nuts. A big commitment though as you’re narrowing down your market come resale

[LincolnLovin]

Yup, it would be very hard to sell it. Would be a lot of fun if I did though 😁

Likely I’ll keep it stock, it’s not like I have the budget for anything else atm

[rlg43p]

Have you shared the cost for this recent work yet?

[LincolnLovin]

Oh it’s in the latest video, £5k.

Including the intercooler?

[LincolnLovin]

Yup, chain, tensioners, guides, some pipes, gaskets, oil, coolant, an intercooler etc.

The intercooler part was £1200 itself, the total price for the chain was around £3k.

[TEKNOPUG]

And the other place wanted £7k for the same job

[LincolnLovin]

Yup it’s a strange situation tbh, but that’s in the past now

You can say that again!

I’m going to do the fluid change on the differentials & transfer case next week. Seems simple enough, the gearbox oil will need to wait for another time.

I need to replace the jack point covers, I have two but the others have disappeared. They seem to be hard to locate, eBay seems really expensive. I did find these for the 957:

Would they fit?
