Does Anyone know if the Turbo tail will physically fit on the C2 Narrow Body...

 

YES and NO,

Yes it fit but the 2 cylinders that lift up the upper part spoiler cant fit into the engine compartment.

 

do you know what gets in the way of them fitting??

 

I spent some time researching this. There have been a couple of cases where (with a great deal of work) they have been fitted.
If you want the look go for the MA Shaw version. It stays in the up position and looks good.
Deputy dog was selling his a while back, if you look up his postings you'll find pics of it on his cab.

Cheers,

I know about the fixed version for the narrow body cars...Thanks...I think im going to take a stab at fitting the real 996TT wing to my car...I talke lots of photos for everyone...I own a repair shop, and my buddy has a body place so between the 2 of us we should be able to get this done...Thanks for the input...

 

air box filter on the right
air pump on the left side

 

This is the one I bought from DD. I love it. It's a replica and I, like you wanted one that went up and down. However, I have loved the one I have and the compliments are never ending. Also, expect a few criticisms because some Porsche owners hate this spoiler.









Hope this helps.

thanks guys for all you help...I already have a custom intake in the car so hopefully that will clear...if not i will modify it...and i will have to look into the air pump on the other side....I will kkeep all of you posted.

 

I would love to see a DIY post on this if you make it work. Too me, this is the most sexy spoiler on a NB you can get. Partly because it's on a NB and meant for a TT. Not enough for a Turbo but fantastic for a NB. But, that's just me. Many would a disagree.

You can move the air pump to a different location. It's not impossible.

 

i figure that its only an air pump...so as long as the wireing and the hose is connected im good.

 

Still want to see the DIY when your done. I would still like mine to be the Real Thing someday.

Keep us posted.

Paul

 

I will take step by step photos and list exactly what i did...now i gotta buy the tail.

 

i would not go through all this if i did not think it was the sexyest option for the car...i love the new 997 gt2 but not for the narrow body 996

 

If memory serves me correctly there are pictures of a nb 996 with a TT tail over at renntech.org. I believe there is a picture with the lid open so you might be able to see what was moved.
Good luck.
