    The front of the 997 TT is the same as the 997 narrowbody, so it should fit easily, with very minor modification. The width difference between a narrow and a wide body takes place right behind the doors. CATTMAN

    Thanks, Paul, and thanks to your brother, too. My kit is a VF-Engineering kit, which is totally different. The fuel injectors in my kit, are simply larger replacements for the stock ones, not a 7th injector, as perhaps is in your bro's kit. CATTMAN

    Do you have any photos showing where these jars exist/ which lines they are helping remove oil from? This is the part I don't follow: "The air vents back into the line between the supercharger and the air control valve." The air to the SC comes from one place. It comes from the K&N cone filter, past the MAF, through the intake tube, and into the SC's impeller. The oil for the SC comes from the driver's side oil galley, and drains down back into the engine through the passenger's side oil galley. The CCV (crank case vent tube) tube on the driver's side goes to my oil catch can. You are talking about the passenger side CCV, which with my installation is not changed at all. The CCV comes from the separator, and back down into the block, just as with stock. Are you saying that I need a catch can, or jar, or outlet, on this side? A pic would help a lot here, since, as you know, the plumbing is complex. CATTMAN

    The throttle body in a 997 allows/ determines how much air is allowed into the system. A carburator is for fuel intake. Air and fuel are supplied separately. In a fuel injected vehicle, the fuel injectors, linked to the fuel pump and ECU determine/ allow fuel into the chamber. The throttle body is for air. They work together via ECU programming to create the correct AFR mixture for ideal combustion. Not sure what you mean by "not passing the oil by-pass into the throttle body." The oil supply is one thing: my SC shares oil with the engine . I tap into the driver's side oil galley, and vent downstream to the SC, out and down by gravity into the passenger side oil galley. The bypass valve lives downstream of the throttlebody. From the throttlebody it has a T into the crank case vent tube (to push crap through, in my case to the oil catch can), and into the diverter valve, which is part of the air intake. This is all about air. Are you saying the there is enough junk after the throttle body that is getting forced down the bypass valve, into the diverter, and back into the air supply pre-charger?

    Carburator? These cars don't have carburators, they are fuel injected. FWIW, I am using an oil catch can from the driver's side crank case vent hose, so nothing is going back into the intake and recirculating. The MAF is clean. In anycase, the oil separator can be reached without dropping the motor- you just have to remove the throttle body, plenum, and distributor. I did the whole SC installation myself without dropping the motor, including swapping in larger injectors. Anyone else have a thought on this? The more research I do, the more I see that these 2 fault codes are common, and may relate to a dirty MAF (so I cleaned it), or the IPD Plenum that I am running. I will put the OEM plenum back, and with the newly cleaned MAF expect that these faults won't reappear. CATTMAN

    Loren, or anyone else, how do you interpret these Durametric fault codes: P2187 Oxy. sensor control adapt. RKAT bank 1 range near idle speed P2177 Mixture adaptation checksum error bank 1 P2189 Oxy. sensor control adapt. RKAT bank 2 range near idle speed P2179 Mixture adaptation checksum error bank 2 I am running a Supercharger with AWE cats and the IPD Plenum. CATTMAN

    The GT2 is insane. It's a frightening car. Some call it "the widow maker." You can very easily get sideways in a car like that, so be careful. However, it is more easily a daily car than a GT3, some say. In terms of adding power, you can add a SuperCharger (wave your warrantee goodbye) and get an add'l 110-140hp, or do the new TPC single turbo and you can expect 450RWHP, which is more than a 997TT.

    Yes, that is correct, and I have that harness. What I was hoping for are instructions on removing the necessary components, the process, etc., and reinstalling them on the new wing's underside.

    I've searched and searched, but not found step by step instructions for removing the rear decklid spoiler, and installing an aftermarket (Misha) stationary wing. Several components need to be swapped over, etc. Does anyone have a link to these instructions? CATTMAN

    I am having an issue with my ignition lock as well. At times, can't get the key in, or out. Or when it is out, I am still given the "Key in Ignition" notice. And when I crank the car to start, not all electrical components start. If I turn the key just a tiny bit counter-clockwise in the ignition, once the car has started, I can get all the components to activate. Wierd, and annoying, as it cost me $150 in limo fees, not to mention a blow-out fight with the Mrs. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow to get it corrected under Warranty.
