Excellent write up, I just need an offside PSE box to complete my system..
Thanks for posting info on the tube size for the mounts, I was thinking along the same lines and was just waiting to get them off to find out the sizes..
HUGE saving using a piece of £5 SS tubing compared to buying from Porsche totalling around £80+VAT.. and in CS which would have just corroded again !
Great write-up Martin
I'm not sure if this helps but the exhaust was bought/fitted from OPC West London and this part number was fitted according to the invoice:
P000.044.200.19
Maybe. Personally I like not having to faff around with a switch and it seems that the constant exercising of the valve has kept it working for 15 years with no problems.
I ordered the bracket that holds the same style solenoid on the other side of the engine and flipped it to hold the solenoid but have just found out that a proper bracket is available from the 997 PSE installation. Strangely it has a 996 part number but I can't find it in the 996 catalogue.
What a making work laugh out loud MC. It's what makes this discussion incredible.
Until individuals compose a string like this they don't understand the time it takes, what with composing all the content at that point facilitating and connecting photographs and so on.
PSE is the best sounding fumes on a 996, period....
I've heard them everything except none have been as great. Just issue nowadays is finding a non rusted out one.
Might be able to save someone a few pennies unless already mentioned - the vacuum reservoir looks the same as fitted to the 944. I'm guessing that there might also be other vacuum reservoirs from other makes / models that could work.
I just had to sign up just because of this topic, excellent write-up!
I have my retrofit partly finished with the silencers already fitted and most other parts bought, but I'm missing 2 part numbers:
- The female plug / housing + pins for the PSE switch
- The electrical connector + pins for the solenoid (These are the same as used in other VAG cars)
I'm building the loom myself as I just can't justify the cost of the OEM loom + relay.
