    Have you tried the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). Email JeffClark@sunsetimports.com and tell him I sent you.

    8.8 = 50 Tons per sq inch high tensile metric bolts previous called "aircraft quality" or "aerospace quality". Beware of counterfeit bolts

    Model year? Does the car idle rough? Is acceleration okay?

    Swapping engines will make no difference in direction. The strongest Tip is the A9650 Tip used in the Turbo and later Carrera's. It can easily handle over 500 bhp. I still think the A8620 Tip (from the Boxster S) will easily handle a 3.4 liter.

    Does the ABS light come on when this happens?

    I sent you a PM...

    Try doing a Search here. This has been covered many many times.

    I agree. If that is the original battery you've been living on borrowed time for a year or so.

    No, the differential is what makes the final drive go the right direction. You put the bevel gear on the opposite side. An A96 Tip will have the bevel gear on the wrong side for a Boxster - so either you change it (if possible) or you use an A86 Tip. If you get a Tip for a Boxster S I think you would be fine.

    I know! I know! ... oh yeah I not allowed to play. :( :(

    The EVAP canister purge valve is on the engine. Item 11 below.

    Here are the model numbers for the Boxster and Carrera Tiptronics. Wouldn't the drive direction in a Carrera Tip be opposite what it is in a Boxster Tip? I think so.

    Item 3 is: 996 563 551 00 01C Trim (in black) - retail $14.55

    Carrera firing order image - in a Boxster, the engine faces 180 degrees the other way. So in a Carrera, 1-3 are on the drivers side and in a Boxster, 1-3 are on the passenger side. Bank 1 is cylinders 1-3 and Bank 2 is cylinders 4-6.

    Sorry mis-read your post.

    Option M680 - Digital Sound Processing (DSP). Only offered through MY01. Replaced by the BOSE system in MY02.

    Still, sounds like you have air in the lines. Try a pressure bleeder or have a friend operate the brake pedal while you bleed.

    Well a new caliper is about $605.90 (US) retail so you might want to consider drilling it out and putting in an insert. If you have never done that before then you might get a quote from a machine shop. Or... buy a used caliper (if you can find one).

    I guess they can try... :huh: As long as it was not damaged installing the GHL then I wouldn't think they could blame it - but you never know.
  22. Loren
    I don't see a problem with 235's. Porsche does not set a spec (since the specify only one tire size for the TT). They only mention that the differences should be as little as possible.
  23. Loren
    I would find someone with a full scanner and make sure. This code says you cat is bad - if no other codes are present and the O2 sensors are reading correctly. A cat failure is not unheard of but it is not very common as far as I know. And, a new cat retails for around $800!

    I don't think there is any other current solution. The CDR-23 and other components have been optical (MOST) since MY2002. If you swap everything out you will likely need to add wiring since the current communication is via optical cables.
