Pull the engine out, what a PITA compare to the N/A engine.

I believe it time for a new clutch.
And everybody knows that electric tape is the best thing against vacuum leak, right!

New belts

Replacing the air/fuel unit to turbo boot
Replacing Alternator
Removing the A/C and cutting bracket
And prepping for the 951 intercooler piping

Shit, if I would've seen this earlier I have a turbo rubber boot that is in perfect shape to replace the one you have with a leak.

Bad news, the crack is also visible from the inside
Can this be fixed or should I replace it?

You can fix that, take small grinder, and groove the crack, then heat it in your oven to 500 degrees, and then weld it with a high nickel content arc welder rod. Then, put it in a box with sand on the bottom, then cover it with more sand, then forget about it for a few days as it cools. Many write-ups on this process on the board if you need more information.

Be careful there, the Porsche cast iron is a higher quality than most American manifolds that they might be used to. Don't let them MIG weld it for example.

Finally got some work done on the car this morning.

I removed 55lbs worth of crap, rotten under carpet from the front of the car and sticky rubber layer from the truck.

Also remove the non-working and unwanted A/C, 45lbs.

This stuff is free + shipping (unknown condition)

Then I loaded the front bumper with signal, driving light and modified 944 euro bumper rubber.
