It's only 300$ in parts...close to 3K$ when you go through the dealership.

 

Just bought fuel pressure sensor, front brakes, HPFP, intank fuel pump, fuel filter, thermal wrapped exhaust, 15mm spacers all around, stabilizer bushings.....can only handle so much in one sitting. Want to drive the car at least a week and then drop it off for some more TLC

 

I will have to say, the in-tank fuel pump, was actually super duper easy.... The KEYYYYY thing however, is having the tank down to nearly zero... Even if you have a half tank, the gasoline will be near the top of the opening of the tank. Ive done this 3 times for my car and a few other local peeps... Man, when I did it the first time, thinking I could outsmart the "Porsche Procedures" and found out the hard way, lol... Im a trooper with a lot things and I tried doing this with the gas in the tank and half my arm inside the tank... Yeah, had an impossible time twisting the unit onto the screw latch in the tank since all the tubes created a floating affect that apposed the direction i needed to twist... 3 hours later, and with some decent gasoline skin exposure burns, I decided to go bite the bullet and pick up a cheap hand pump extractor... Once i did that, it literally took me 5 minutes to install... And when I ended up doing the other two cars, the entire process took only 20 minutes to do with gas on Empty, hahahha...

 

I have seen plenty of people say not to fun these cars under a quarter of a tank otherwise it is one of the causes of pump failure??? Sounds crazy but have heard that from a few people. Did you just siphon it out or literally drove it to the gas light on?

 

And to answer your question, Yes!!! After all this, your HP will be back to its original form and entirety. The Panamera Turbos since they definitely need a lot of fuel to run that kind of HP, this is a critical aspect to having your car run perfect. The car is gonna feel like its WAYYYY faster, that I promise you, haha.
