any pointers or a removal guide?

I have to get my used one refurbished quick and have been reading on the downtime. Cant be as hard as replacing an a/c compressor (7.2hr book time) on a 15 Macan S 3.0tt...yeah, thats sucked.

If you are talking about the not running 931, I've got a used turbo head and have a place on Rt30 between Bedford and Everett.

Do you redo the heads?

No, I restore the older 356/912/911 engines. I have a machine shop near me that does my head work for the 924 and all the others.

Sure, I can take it. I'm having some AC work done there soon so I will be coming up to give the installers access. I'll let you know when I will be coming and we can meet up.
