Hello 996/GT2 lovers,

I am new to the forum - what a great source of info!
Has anyone installed (other than the seller) this slave cylinder on a 996 turbo?
If so, what was your impression of this conversion? Does this part use the accumulator?
I see the stock slave cylinder requires the accumulator.

Can this item be installed with the engine/trans in the car?

It appears that I am pumping fluid to the forward reservoir, which seems to be indicative of a pending slave cylinder failure.

Any info will help, and thanks

I too would like to know the answers to the above questions. Has anyone installed the BBi?

 

bump would like to know too if this can be installed with transmission in place

 

I can answer a couple of your questions though I have not installed the BBi slave. It eliminates the accumulator and the coolant path of the factory slave. I believe it can be installed with the trans in the car, but you'd have to lower the trans a bit to access it, just like a factory slave replacement. If my slave goes, I'll be picking up the BBi.

 

Just did one. Great piece. Feel free to pm or call if I can help

Sambo took care of me with this upgrade along with a clutch job. After 1 hour of driving, I got use to it and was able to feather/slip it in heavy LA traffic.

My pedal effort is stiff but I also went with a 764PP along with it. Engagement is pretty much like stock though, just more effort.

 

After installing the 764 pressure plate and solid GT2 disk, I would never consider changing the stock slave/accumulator setup.

The vague clutch feel is gone and the pedal effort is as easy as stock. I do have the 997 accumulator.
