    From what I have read, the opinion on the threads was that DSP retrofit isn't worth the time/cost. (unless you can get parts for free) But it seems simple enough, just need to add the DSP and matching amp. (DSP doesn't function without proper amp) There are a few wiring diagrams online to help. files "my99_dsp" and "my99_dsp_2" and "my03_bose" are what I have found.

    Well if there is truly no fault then the light wouldn't return with the battery reset, no?
  3. 987_RDC
    You try removing the battery ground for 10 min?
  4. 987_RDC
    Someone else mentioned it may be possible to "fake" the 9516 tester with a 2.9 ohm resistor. Their logic was that the bag itself has a similar ohm value. Of course disconnect battery and wait 10 min before removing airbag.

    Perhaps the oil from the RMS is getting onto the clutch surface and creating slip? Get the IMS/RMS replaced at a indy.

    I thought the boost spring had to do with assiting pressing the clutch down? I had this symtom and did a bleeding of the clutch slave to resolve. Brief How-to: Hold clutch down w/ broom handle and using power seat. Use Motive bleeder on brake fluid reservoir to pressurize. Loosen bleed valve on top of transmission for slave cylinder to bleed old fluid and then close. Manually lift clutch pedal slowly. Top up brake fluid with proper DOT4.

    I have a set of after hours exhaust for 996 that has same performance as straight pipes but less drone. Send me a PM.

    So in other words....lawyers win again?

    I've had no issues with my Tooki once I reflashed it to the "cold weather boot" FW. Never errors.
  11. 987_RDC
    Wow there is actually someone at the parts in Steven's Creek? I never get a call back or email reply.....

    Fremont Porsche seems to have the best pricing in Bay Area. Scott is a big help.

    Glad you found the solution. Anyone needing a replacement HVAC for 02+ let me know. I have a spare.
  14. 987_RDC
    Have you confirmed under the car that the cables are properly secured to the transmission? It is possible the "locking" prongs on the shifter cables have come undone or loose.
  15. 987_RDC
    Palo Alto Speedometer (in CA) can repair the unit also.
  16. 987_RDC
    Looks good. Perhaps recommend Mobil Polyrex EM as the grease. Made for electronic motors and $5 from Grainger.
  17. 987_RDC
    A cheap ATV jack from horrible freight and some 2x4s makes it much easier. Just a suggestion.
  18. 987_RDC
    Buy used one and list your for sale as parts. Could help out someone else.
  19. 987_RDC
    What tool did you use to cut? Waiting for Costco to have the 2k sale again.
  20. 987_RDC
    I have two sets of ~350 cc/min injectors from Carrera S 3.8L if that is any help. They don't have the plastic green portion. I bought them to diagnose a misfire but didn't need them.

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to use Loctite 5900 and some pressure to get the plug sufficiently in.
  22. 987_RDC
    The only thing I can lever off of is the engine mount. It flexes too much to get the plug to seat. Quite frustrating. Just grabbed a 2" thread protector cap off a pipe in Ace Hardware. Might use that if I cannot get the OEM plug in.
  23. 987_RDC
    Anyone know any tricks to get the brown larger cam plug reinstalled on bank 2? There is only 3" of clearance so cannot get enough behind a hammer/wrench to get it in. The green plugs were easy to install by hand. Why is the large cam plug so difficult!
  24. 987_RDC
    Made me laugh. I recall being in Austin and telling them the Stars were in the playoffs. The bar wouldn't change the TV since horse jumping was on. Anyone find another seller that can beat Costco $2k delivered price for MaxJax?
  25. 987_RDC
    Perfect. Thanks for the replies. I couldn't confirm from the various other postings. I have a set of LN tools but was scratching my head on the differences between the variocam and plus tools.
