How do I tell what type of head lights I have. I'm looking at going with the 8K bulbs. I don't know if I have the HID, Xenon, litronics.

This is a pic of my head lights on my 996tt. Are these the Litronics with the fish eye looking lens?

Yes, and all 996TT's have Bi-Xenon (like Litronic).

Loren thank you again for the help. Do you know any brand I should get for the 8000K bulb? I see alot on ebay. They are made in China, Japan. I did get a set from Pia at one time. Also do I get them for both low beam and high beam?

Thank you again for all your help.

Does anyone have any info on the ball bearing turbos for a 996TT? I was told they spool up faster and can make more HP. I have a pair of K24.

The wastegate upgrade is STILL worth it. I was amazed at the midrange torque I got with the upgraded springs. Call Kevin @ Ultimate Motorwerks.

Do you have Kevin's phone number from Ultimate Motorwerks?

Thanks.

Check the above link...

Found my problem, found the right turbo has a leak. took it off to have it rebuilt, hope that will fix the problem.

The remote stops working after approx. 5 days of inactivity, trey this: open the door with the key-push the key in the ignition switch-turn contact on, at the same time push on the button of the remote to recognise the system ( announcement )-pull the key out and trey to lock the door by the remote. If it doesnt work, there is a good change that the remote is faulty and most by replaced in a O.P.C. to programmed.

Yeah I gave it a try and didn't work. I guess it off the the dealer I go. Thanks for the help. <_<

Have a 2 button key. Just out of the blue, the buttons will not open or lock the door or the hood. The red light is flashing on the key when the button is pressed. Also too the battery out to check if the batter is good. 3V perfect. The door will lock from the inside by the button on the dash board. Any ideas on what may have or is causing this?

Thanks.

I have a 2001 996T and I'm interested too...C'mon folks...somebody out there has to have updated there stereo system

Well I just got mine done. The door speakers are Focal 165V3, 6.5 inch mid bass and the dash is 4" midrange with a 1 3/4" tweeters. Behind the seat is a set of 6" Scanspeak woofers in a custom box. I've also installed the Eclipse AVN 6600 Navi with DVD and Sirus radio. The unit sounds great. Had to move the AC control down to allow the Navi. I've also installed the Parot speaker phone. I works well as long as the car is not moving. Engine is too loud, don't waste your money on that. I'm using a Alpine PDX 4.150 amp to drive the speakers. The amp is setup as a 3 chanel using the 3rd chanel bridged to run the sub. I also installed a Ipod controler with the AVN 6600. The system works well and sounds really good.

Looking for some info on waste gate upgrade. My car is getting around .9 to 1 bar boost. I was told I should be getting 1.1 to 1.2. I have a X50 with stage 2 programing. I was told to look into the waste gate. Any ideas guys?

Im thinking about upgrading my audio system in my 02 996tt. Has anyone done any upgrades and does anyone know what are the size of speakers for the dash and the doors. I don't want to install any in the back panels. All info would be helpfull. Even brands etc.

thanks

Why don't you just try some...like 4lbs. less all around. I think 19" w/PSS9 are way better than 19" with stock suspension, IMHO.

Where did you get the carbon Air intake box? Looks really cool. Nice car.

In My Humble Opinion :)

OK! Now I feel really stupid. Thanks for the class. I'm sure there will be more to come.

I was told to run around 50 lbs of air in the tires. Man my rollerblades rides better than the car. I'll try taking 4 or lbs of air out. Maybe that will help.

Thanks.

My honest opinion... lose the 19" wheels. IMHO with the PSS9's you want a little more sidewall rubber (and fewer bent wheels).

What is IMHO? I'm not really up to speed on all that. This is all pretty new to me.

I'm considering buying a 2005 996 Turbo S, that is supposed to have the 455 hp engine installed. This is supposed to be similar to the x50 option from previous years. The Engine/Transmission code in the Maintenance Book lists the code as:

M9670-645 G9650-40

Can anyone confirm these codes confirm the 455 hp engine version (it has the 6-spd manual tranny)?

Thanks in advance!

Where can I find the Engine/Transmission code on my car?

Any ideas on air pressure on a Mich Pilot Sport 235 X 35ZR19, 315 X 25ZR19 with PSS9? Trying to get a better ride without loosing all my fillings in my mouth.

Set the setting to 4 and 3. Thanks guys, it's much better.

Does anyone have a typical damping setting on a PSS9 for 996TT? I've changed it and now I'm lost. Car handles like SH**T now. The more I play the wost it gets. All info ould help.

Thanks again Larry.

The part number will be great. Going fishing for 10 days. Hope the car will be done when I get home.

Thanks again.

Did you get a chance to get the part number for the clutch?

Thanks

Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, had a alarm condition on my boat down in the Harbor. This EVO link will ID the pressure plate/ clutch, your locate Porsche parts dealer can ID the correct Sach's P/N which could be cheaper than EVO.

I got my parts guy to look at the EVO site and gave me the parts, I didn't retain the P/N data.

Good luck,

Larry

Thanks Larry

I'll see if I can find one before I head off to Mexico.

Alarm on your boat? I see you have one of those bottomless pit also.

Where are you located at in California?

Is the clutch and the pressure plate on a 996TT X50 the same as the GT2?

What advantage will I get with a lighten fly wheel?

Thanks again Larry.

I'll give that a try. Where do I get one of those clutch and pressure plate?

I have an 02 996TT-X50. It has the GT2 K24 turbo and GT2 intercoolers. It also has the fabspeed exhaust with the Gemballa programing. The car is putting out 570 HP. The clutch was never upgraded. Now it slips during hard accelerations. Slips starts around 3500~4000 RPM.

My questions is. Is there any adjustment I can make or should I just upgrade to a stronger clutch? Can anyone recommend a unit which I should go with?

Thanks

Ed.
