sharkster - thanks for the reply, not sure how I missed the updates to this thread. Is the 50 hp and 65 lb-ft gains as a result of tuning only or did you change/modify the exhaust also? That is one hell of an impressive gain and this is one gorgeous car.

Cheers.

He man... absolutely it will. No modification needed as it's a direct swap on any 911 as far as the geometry/fit goes I _always_ do so with the lock out plate too so that the toe-angle stays constant

hey can just to re-iterate as I misread what you asked. Indeed the factory gt2rs or gt3rs toe-link and solid bushing can be used on your TT

Alex, it's obvious from your rep points (you have more rep power than most people have number of posts ) but I must say once again what an incredible resource you are to this forum. You always seem to know things that I need to know and couldn't find anywhere else, this GT2RS toe link being but the latest example. Even when I haven't bought anything from you, the answers are always quick and to the point.

Highest recommendation for the Sharkwerks Super Shop, for anyone fortunate enough to live close to it (Northern California). It's a no brainer guys.

Anyone here into suspension mod, pay close attention to what Alex just told me: now you actually could buy solid rear toe link that is OEM Porsche!, GT2RS no less! (Rear toe link replacement is a unique universal recommendation from Porsche tuners.)

GT-TT is infamous around these partsGT-TT is infamous around these parts
Can, as you said I (and others) told you about the toe links like 3 years ago. I tried back to back stock vs the one Alex is saying and the difference was quite big. Porsche just did something they should have done years ago..
Anyway, i think you should get the one Alex is saying with the lockout plates. Don't wait until P decides to use that in 991 GT3RS mk2 etc etc.. lol
One has to realise at some point that P is releasing performance slowly also for product differentiation (i.e. commercial/marketing) reasons.

I know this doesn't pertain to the thread. But anyway to get close ups on the hood. I haven't been able to find and close up pics of the hood to tell what exactly the hood is.

So why is there a double shaft set up in this link, why not just use a single piece billet center with a left and right hand threaded rod end for each end. That way you elininate the female rod end and some complexity.
