I am chiming in a little late on this one and I have not read all the post. I do have one question, on page one you and todd@evo where discussing a race, did that ever happen?

Rob,
My recent conversations with (blank). Will now go forward with electronic
solution, unless you have another direction.
Let me know,

Subject: RE: 996 TT triggering
I can manipulate the placement of the triggers, as long as there are 4
of them, but it must be 4.
There are many options for the trigger. You could place it on the front
of the camshaft, or the rear, or we even put another one between cylinders 2 and 3 on another car we did and welded a new pickup into the valve cover.
A mechanical solution may be 20 or so hours of machine work. A software
solution at this point may be months worth of development I could not use
for any other car.
The 996tt's have been changing exhaust cams, not intakes, probably for
this reason, or just simply regrinding the stock intake cams paying close
attention to the lobe/trigger placement.

I have spoken to Rob @ S Car Go regarding the triggering issue he may
encounter. I have no experience with street engine electronics or the re
programming ability. It is clear that the 996TT Cams are not candidates for
his engine project. We will be using the modified cams which have 1 trigger
point. He has Cup Heads and Cam trays and the 996 Cam will not fit due to
the Trigger wheel. Modifying the Cup Cam for a 4 segment wheel is not
possible, and any attempt on these thin Cams appears to be a poor choice.
Welding and any other sort of fitment is not a good solution. We cannot
afford any problem issue here.
The solution appears to be one of two. I am hoping you can modify the
software to allow the system to accept one sync signal and have this signal
occur anytime between the last and the first cylinder to fire, and if this
will satisfy the ECU, he is free and clear. However, if that cannot be
achieved, then we have to look for an alternative solution. We have an
electronic solution, but this should be selected only after you have no
programming ability to change this parameter.
What have you done in the past when customers have used Cup Heads and Trays? Are they changing Cams, or are all 996 Turbo hot rods using all stock parts?
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully success on your part to
solve this major problem.

The long and the short is our application should be tested on a motor in the next week or two. I have substituted blanks in place of the above people's names with the exception of Rob at S Car Go Racing. If our test is successful, I will give credit where credit is due.

I would be happy to give Todd a rain check if he wants. I had no idea what I was getting into with this last project.

I was at S-Car-Go last week and here is a photo of KA..the same way she was in February 2004...
If you need someone to race..I would be happy (with CJV's blessing) to represent him at ANY event with my turbo ...

We need a clearer pic than that .............. it so blurred it looks like she is moving.

All a cop has to do is write you up for it. It can be a guess or "feeling" on his part. The long and the short is you have to bring the car into a State station. I thought you had that happen to you with an noise violation awhile back. About the time my some went through it with his exhaust on his M3.
There is also those infra red detectors that they can point at your exhaust as you accelerate onto a freeway that can detect emmissions.
