  1. Well if your car is indeed stock one of the best mods you can do would be the exhaust and a k27 turbo. The boost will come on earlier and more progressively. I run the GHL headers with heat, although truth be known the heat works like the AC on these cars. Which is in a word: poorly. The wastegate spring is a good way to make some quick HP gains but extended periods of time at this boost level will burn the stock pistons due to a lean condition. This can be addressed with fueling through an adjustable WUR, also a great mod, but honestly without an updated turbo you probably will not be able to maintain 1bar of boost for any length of time anyway, the stock turbo will run out of breath pretty quickly. Hope this helps, Sean 87 930
  2. Hello All! I have a quick question. First the background information... The Car: 2001 996 C2 The Headunit: Becker CDR-220 The Link: Dension Ice Link Plus Question: If I were to install a CD changer will I need to have the headunit programmed to recognize the changer, since it did not leave the factory with the changer installed? Or is it just a plug and play install? I ask because I am installing a iPod link which should be recognized by the headunit as a CD changer. However after the install there is no CDC/MCD source option as I toggle through... The firmware is up to date, the software is current, the wiring install is done correctly, but no dice! Dension says that the headunit may need to be programmed to allow the CD changer to be active, and Porsche says that there is no programming to be done for the headunit. I'm so confused!!!! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! -Sean
  3. I would highly recommend purchasing an extended warranty for anyone buying a pre-owned 996. The risk of RMS failure was enough for me to get one from CNA roughly $2500. It has already payed for itself in the way of new coolant expansion tank, RMS and IMS seal replacement. It is great to enjoy the new P-car, and not have to worry about the little things! I feel that peace of mind is worth the money! -Sean
  4. Alright here is the part number for the relay... 996-618-211902 Any ideas? The Fault Code is 46. They noted that the drivers buckle was already updated. Thanks Again. Sean
  5. As for the control unit... I will find out tomorrow. In regards to the other garage... At that price I will absolutely!!
  6. So a week ago the airbag warning light came on, so I took my 01' C2 to the dealership to have it inspected. They found that the airbag relay was bad and needed to be replaced. I was quoted $622 for the relay and labor. I asked if the airbags were inoperative, and was told it was a roll of the dice. Question 1: $622????????? Last I checked relays were not that expensive! And it is not like it is located inside the engine block! Question two: Is it really a roll of the dice? Thanks in advance! -Sean
  7. I agree, dust on 3-pc wheels is a huge pain!! I have been using the Hawk Ceramic pads for low dust and been pretty happy with them. Good Luck. -SD
  8. I am running a Hawk ceramic (low dust) pad, and have been very pleased with the results, or lack thereof. Bad news is that before tracking the car I get to do a pad change.
  9. I am using a BMC, it set off my MAF sensor when it was brand new, but after cleaning the sensor, and 10,000 miles later everything has been fine.
  10. Is there an improved throttle response with the intake/exhaust/chip combo?
  11. Thanks for the help everyone! Did the plug change last night!
  12. In reply to your desire to have a "chirp" when the alarm is set. Press the lock button twice fairly quickly. The horn should signal that the car is locked. At least that works on mine! As far as the rest... You are on your own! -Sean
