Beautiful car, congrats. I bought my first P car last summer, very similar, Atlas Grey 997.1TT with HREs, a tune and exhaust. This winter is killing me.

Congrats and welcome. The FF01s look great. You might consider adding turbo inlet pipes on to your mods list, particularly when they are doing the clutch install. The parts are cheap and do make more power as you begin the push the VTGs a bit harder.

Thanks! I do have 2 local (within 15 miles) stations with it... I've been considering it. I'm still unsure if I'd be sacrificing any reliability since the car isn't built to run it.
Thank you, No I have not, Perhaps the BBI slave?

Try to find someone local with the conversion before doing it. My car has it and I am fine with it (although it took some getting used to). It might be a complete show stopper for the next owner if you ever plan on selling in the future. And if you don't know what you are getting yourself into, it might change your enjoyment level with the car.
People say the BBi *might* require slightly less effort than the other GT2 slave conversions, but it is probably a very small difference.
Bottom line, it adds tremendously to clutch feel and avoids the future leaky slave issues, but increases pedal effort by about twice over stock (in my opinion, based on driving a couple other 911TTs with stock slaves)
