Autozone carries a small set of tamper proof torx bits for around $12. Cheap and they are open late. I found this out after buying an expensive Liesle torx set which turned out not to be tamper proof!

 

Yeah, these things are surprisingly hard to find. I went to like 7 places one Saturday before finding a dust-covered set in the back of a local indy parts store.

 

I gave that a try but gave up...they were in there pretty tight....and since I'm doing a few other things and the car is down...I am gonna get the tool. I will probably swap them out with socket-head cap screws...which..IMHO they should have been all along. I guess Porsche doesn't want you swapping MAF's..when they can get you for $500 bucks a pop at the $tealership.lol

 

Guess I will wait for the FAQ to come up before installing ... so I get a full list of the tools needed

Dan I guess mine is on its way to Japan ?

 

I am doing install directions, video, and pics today.

 

Install instructions - Agency Power Porsche 996TT Intake Install Instructions - Vivid Racing

 

New pics of the intake and different colors are here -

Just ordered.

Normally, I'd let the dust settle a bit before ordering a new product, but I recall from my WRX days that Vivid has a good track record of taking care of customers, so I'm going "early adopter".

 

Glad to see you back and in the PCar game If you need any assistance, I am here to help and all my contact info is below.

thanks!

 

To get the security torx screws out, I took a dremel tool and cut a slit in the top of those screws. Then I just took a flat-head screwdriver and removed them. Worked like a charm since I couldn't find anyone who had any bits.

 

^^^Great idea^^^

 

Great! Just in the nick of time! Received my box over here in Hong Kong, and need this badly!

 

Glad you got it. Look forward to your results.

 

has any customer dynoed this yet? looking forward to those results

 

We have dynoed several cars here. X50, standard K16, and modified K16 car. There is no need for independent tests... these do the job!
