Since my 305/30/19 wheels are rubbing on the rear inner wheel liner, im looking at ways to solve this.
I got a tip to use the gt2 wheel well liner, but after further reading the actual trick is to use the gt2 bracket and drill a hole in the liner.
(the hole is the only difference between turbo and gt2 liner)
But om having trouble with identifying the part, as my car is in its garage far away im eager to sort the parts before driving to work on my car.
So question is, can anyone tell me or show me a picture of where this part sits?
The GT2 fender liner is actually the exact same exact part as the TT liner (more expensive of course)! That is why you still have the hole in the lower inside part of the liner near the intercooler hose, as that hole is used with the longer bracket on the TT cars. The only difference on the GT2 liners is that Porsche drilled a hole in the side of the liner to accept the screw for the shorter GT2 bracket. The GT2 liner has the TT part number molded into the plastic with a GT2 part number sticker placed over it. Rob, take a look at the back of your GT2 liner and you will see the TT part number. I found all this out when I ordered new "GT2" liners from Germany since none were in stock in the US at the time, and discovered in the process that the GT2 and TT liners are one and the same. If you can drill a hole into your TT liner, you have just created a GT2 liner. The GT2 side bracket is the key to create more room as it replaces the longer TT bracket which takes up about 1/2" of room at the base of the intercooler hose. I still heated up the GT2 liner to maximize room for the larger 26.5" rears tires I run..
Ok thanks, so its the part i started out with.
But still im not sure where it sits, according to SU, the part sits at the top, but in the thread i linked to the author says:

I just put my rearward liner back in after doing a boost leak check with an R&R of the IC. Correct me if Im wrong but I remember the liner having two screws up top and then two 10mm plastic nuts on the back. Is #36 the part that the two screws attach to hear the top of the well?
well, if anyone comes across any solution for this?! any shared info would be greatly appreciated! i'd be more than a bit surprised to learn that the single bending of a "bracket" will help to lessen the occurrence of this!
this is std liners with a 315/30/18 on a 12" wheel w a 45 offset though it also had to have begun with my previous 12" with a 40 offset. it's a bit disconcerting and is causing me to slow down around corners and smashing thru hill and dale

Yes thats the same problem as i have, with the gt2 bracket the liner will be even more pushed back, more than it will if you bend the turbobracket.
if im not mistaken.

i'm going to try the bracket re-adjustment! i''ve been advised also to drive less aggressively!. sure!! that's gonna happen!

i'll be bending/heatgunning the bracket(s) tomorrow! once the wheels are off while calipers get r&r'd! it would've been today! but i am so freaking stupid i actually FORGOT to bring my brake part bag of rebuild kits that go along with my NEW caliper re-install!
otherwise i'd have had PICS! TODAY! but i will have them tomorrow ( sunday..) for ronny and anyone else facing this same very real and annoying dilemma!
it doesn't happen to car being driven at any "normal" and "staid" fashion or speed! but only to cars that a 1/4 inch of clearance/NON clearance becomes an issue! as in slamming over bumps and what not!
i can't believe that in my stupidity AND haste to put on new calipers that I FORGOT a bag of parts sitting just next to! to the friggin four NEW CALIPERS!!
so i get there and we get the floor jack started etc.... and his kid asked me. "so ****, where are the dampers and the other new parts?? and after freaking out and emptying EVERYthing out of whats still left inside the frunk, all i could tell the kid by way of advice!?!.. was"
"stay in SCHOOL! and just say NO to drugs"
pics tomorrow rain OR shine. g'dangit! ( i am an IDIOT!!!! )
Bending the TT brackets helps but will only get you so far due to the simple fact that the thickness of the TT bracket itself right by the boost hose takes up 1/2-3/4" of space.
( i am an IDIOT!!!! )
