Sensor housing is not sensor!!! it is plastic part to attach to bumper, and sensor insert in housing. From outside it is looks like round rings inside bumper holes, and sensor is flat round surface installed inside ring. So buy only plastic housings, not sensors, cut 6 plastic (PU, PP, ABS - from any flat plastic sheet) round parts to insert them in, paint parts separately, glue "fake sensors" in housings with PU sealant - what is all! 100% turbo look. BTW, You should pay extra $$ body shop for filling holes, and i think no possible to fill holes secure and any smallest crash can cause bumper (holes) repair.

All six housings are different, numbers before.

Hope it is helfull.
Regards.

 

What a superb idea!! Thanks so much. Im definitely going to do that. Cant wait....hopefully I should receive all my parts by next weekend, and then drop it off at the body shop cant wait, thanks all for the help, especially the 'fake sensor' idea ha...think itll work out great.

 

Good Luck with the swap. I thought long and hard about this one, but it just seemed like too much work in the end. be sure to post pics when you're done!

 

You can also get the turbo hood for like 660,

 

wait they dont sell just the plastic covers for the sensors, without the sensor?

 

Hm! They sell housings separately, WITHOUT sensors.

 

yup, housings from suncoast porsche around around $20 a piece (as opposed to like $70 a piece for the sensors)

Good call G A, hopefully itll come out looking great, should have it done in about 2 weeks, cant wait

 

good luck..

 

Where from?

 

any porsche dealer, I called the champion to get a quote

 

just get the holes filled in, thats what i did and it comes out perfect

 

Hey what body shop did you use to fill in the holes?

 

alright so i finally had my turbo bumper conversion done on my S!

let me know what you think!

 

gut!

 

Nice! How long did it take the shop to do the install?
Mind if I ask how much it cost for parts and labor?
