    make sure your coolant reservoir cap p/n ends in 04, if not update it to the newer part. the cap holds pressure up to its release point and then the released coolant travels down the top of reservoir into drain tube. either your cap is failing or you really do have an overtemp/overpressure issue.

    us working techs need to eat too. if by our own experience and skill we can do a job in less than book time, then why should we give away our time and efforts? everybody thinks that mechanics are out to screw them, but it is no different than any other profession. at first you make less profit while you are learning, but as you streamline your business practices you become more profitable. when you become more profitable you dont think of ways to go back to being less profitable you are now reaping the benefits of all your previous hard work. BTW 8-10 hrs is appropriate for non turbo, 17 ish is appropriate for turbo. It can be done with engine in car, but is safer and easier to pull both together. mattntp

    lightweight flywheels often chatter at lower rpm, which is why you see race porsches revving about 1500-2000rpm when rolling around the paddock, it is due to the lower rotational mass and less inertia. I would lean toward a clutch slippage issue or something else clutch related. If it is slipping at higher boost then is probably slipping at takeoff as well. Have the flywheel looked at closely when you have the clutch replaced. Unless you plan to track the car I would recommend Porsche factory clutch and flywheel over any aftermarket parts. Mattntp

    the clutch feel should be normal, it uses the power steering pump to proving pedal assist, which doesn't happen until the car is started. as far as tha rattle, are the clutch and/or flywheel stock or some aftermarket lightweight parts?

    the water pump is definately leaking, you can see an orange coolant crust trail from the lower bolt up toward the shaft. but the hose does appear to be leaking as well, there looks like a tear between the two clamps, but doesnt look to be leaking there, but seeping past the clamped connection to the water pump, you probably do need to replace the hose which seems worn out and will probably not seal well to the new waterpump, which is really better left to a pro.

    the only proper repair is to have the switch replaced as an assembly with a porsche factory part.

    have the clutch replaced with stock updated parts and have the cable properly adjusted according to spec. when working correctly they aare not that bad. but a g50 upgrade would be better both for the hydraulic clutch and the shift feel, g15 is sloppy and prone to syncro wear. g50 is crisper and stronger.

    There are a couple of microswitches on the inner door latch assemblys that can fail and cause issues similar to what you are experiencing. i think they can all be replaced without replacing the entire latch assy. you will need to remove the inner door panel and remove the latch assy. to replace the switches. matt
