When I sent my Cayman to TPC, I thought this girl could have been in on the turbo install or I could have gotten her shirt, but neither one happened. I didn’t even get some stickers!

FI is still on the table, just not right after going a little overboard with my suspension build.

If that's how the kit comes, it looks incredibly simple. There are hardly any parts! Shoot, the SC had parts all over the place!

Uh oh. Well, maybe I can do one of these for the 944 I'm thinking of buying.

Yeah, the SC has way more parts and apparently is installed by the pro's in about 14 hrs. Makes you wonder how quick this kit can be installed. TPC quotes 30 hrs... I guess we will see

Stacy,
real interested in this. I talked with TPC about doing a DIY on it myself and at that point they were not selling as a DIY because they had not got all of the instructions finished. They also said you have to drop the engine a couple of inches to get to the back fuel injectors. I seem to remember (and forgive me if I am wrong ) but you were able to get the fuel injectors in without dropping the engine of its mounts for the SC.
Thanks
Jonathan

The injectors can be swapped without dropping the enigne. Stacy did it, and so did I. It ain't easy, but I think it's probably easier and safer than dropping the engine.

Thanks Catt and Stacey. I had thought you guys did the FI swap with the engine in place.
