997C4S Supercharger Install: Part VII
Since I was going to be out of town for the weekend, I buttoned up the supercharger project after getting the ECU back from VF, did some road testing with it Wednesday night, and gave it back to the owner for the weekend to put some miles on it.

It is very important to replace these boots if you notice them ripped at all, as they no only help to keep the …
Had a buddy bring in his 993 today for an install of an Atiwe steering wheel. The install took some trial and error since what little instructions came with the wheel weren’t for our model car, and they were in German, lol. Eventually we got it figured out though: Using a t-30 torx, remove the 2 screws on the back of the wheel holding the airbag on (disconnect the battery for 20 minutes before removing airbag, yada yada). Unplug the …
