997.1 Turbo phase 2 time (conversion to 'standard' turbos)

Anybody have a PN or details on the fitting I need to adapter the Porsche Schrader valve to an NPT fitting (fuel pressure in this case)
A ready made fitting would be nice, but worst case I can weld something up if I have that side..
Thanks

Made a couple of brackets from 3/16th SS to hold the turbos. just of adjustable since I dont know exactly where I will end up clocking the turbos.
Also counter bored some NPT fittings and welded factory check valve/oil feed lines.
was hoping to drop motor in this w/e.. but I want to pin the coolant lines which is more time. Plus I am supposed to be at the kart track for a few hours sat am and my buddies birthday is Sunday so we will be drinking all day. heh.

Since I am running non water cooled turbos.. can I just disconnect the water pump that draws water out of the turbos? I have it capped.. but I figure if it runs dry it will destroy itself.
I am guessing it would normally throw an SES code, but since I am running proEFI I am not sure if that is applicable.. Not sure how the car handles non-direct engine faults

Tried to use stock SS lines where possible, tweaked, fitted as needed.
Ran extra proEFI wiring behind stock heat shielding.
Gotta turn all this into something usable..
And.. LOL @ Porsche: (when you complain about paying $$$ for somebody to work on your car.... don't. )

Ive done trans swaps in parking lots, nitrous installs in my dorm parking garage, water pumps outside of bars, differentials in drag strip parking lots..
Gallardo exhaust install in my driveway... (before my new garage)
Im lucky (now) to have a great place to work.

Question- You guys that eliminate the non charge side of the intake system.. where did you route the breather tubes? I am thinking just putting two of those teeny K&N filters on them.. not sure if they need vacvuum?

Subscribed! I am doing similar build on my 996TT, twin 54mm T3 Turbos. I think that wire you were asking about a few posts ago is one of the O2 sensor wires but not 100% sure.
Question: I'm trying to figure out how to configure my turbo oil feed. I considered using the factory filter/check valve and just tap out a aluminum flange to m12x1.5, but I see you are running a AN line and fitting? Where did you tap in or how did you adapt that? Some kind of AN flare fitting on the feed tube?
FYI: I also have some brand new FIC1100 injectors for sale if you are interested! not sure how crazy you are going with your fuel system but figured I'd throw that out there.
Awesome build!!

Scot-
I cut the stainless line that has the check valve in it, and welded an AN fitting to it. So it looks like this:
ENGINE->PORSCHE CHECK VALVE->PORSCHE SS LINE->(snip)->STAINLESS AN FITTING->AN LINE->TURBO

Ah so you just tig'd a stainless fitting on then heh? The check valve on the 996T is off the turbo so going that route for me would mean I possibly dump the check valve altogether. Hmm... decisions.
