Best place for OEM part lookup online

Looking for where you guys find your oem parts other then calling dealer by phone.

ive tried suncoast and sonnen porsche websites but neither really help much and the non porsche part sites are littered with a mix of nonturbo and turbo parts under the turbo designation similar to the two dealer sites i mentioned.

where do you guys find the info at?

Here is a link to Porsche's parts pdf.'s:

Porsche Parts Catalog

It's difficult to list all products online. If you would like to see any specific item on our site, please let us know. I'd appreciate the feedback.

We tend to list the popular items on our site, maintenance, wear & tear, unique/hard to find, and tequipment. Many parts are easy, but others are very VIN-number specific. Some parts require a specialist, so offering a PET parts catalog with pricing can be counter-productive.

During my work day, I often have to spend time researching compatibility and fitment, and consult other specialist/technicians for help (and I've been here 10 years). And sometimes the catalogs aren't correct, or don't show all relevant information. To the public, I would recommend using the PET catalog for the illustrations and part names. Beyond that, I would leave it to the pros.

When we built our current website, we considered listing the complete PET catalog, but decided to go with a more attractive layout with more accurate category listings, and an "add-as-we-go" concept for parts listings.

If I can help, feel free to call, email, or PM me.

I am always using the AutoAtlanta website. You got access to every single Porsches. That is the best online parts cat. you will found. But the price, not competitive...
