Replaced the timing belt as the tensioner and belt were on their way out. I over tightened it, so I changed it when it started making noise and paid more attention to the tension this time. While I was there I installed my Franco Timing Gear, made a nice difference in the low end torque right where I needed it due to the large (45mm) throttle bodies.

The fuel map is getting closer, next is to work on the acceleration enrichment so that it won't fall on its face quite so bad on throttle application

looks like we are doing the rear drums and master cylinder replacement on Monday.

Should take the day to do it right. A little ahead of schedule, but hey, who cares its the Porsche.

Got round to lubricating the regulator for the passenger window, makes a hell of a differance

Corse I should have done it when I had all the trim off to fit a new lock drop link a couple of months ago like I did on the drivers side

Yesterday took the wastegate out and sure enough the pulse separating plate was contacting wastegate valve so it was open at least 1 mm all the time.
Going to fabricate copper gasket for wastegate so that clearance is good. After that, WOT time!
Oh, can't speak too much, NSA is listening!
