Our YouTube channel has a bunch of install guides for the Porsche 997 and other cars that we do carbon interior parts for.
Our newest video shows how to polish scratches out of carbon fiber...

Thought it would be good to add this DIY I just wrote on Spark Plug and Coil change for 997.1 TT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK....Figured I better try to knock out a DIY soon, before I started forgetting
So I spent a great deal of time trying to illustrate and use photos and text to guide anyone that wants to try it.
CAVEAT : This is how I DID IT...and it worked. If you have a better way...Knock yourself out...This is in the spirit of helping others, not to debate the best way or what I did different or wrong.....
Too big for me to upload here apparently... About 4.5 MB .pdf, so get it here:
997.1 TT Spark Plug Change DIY HERE: How to change 997.1 TT Plugs and Coils
Hope this helps!

@hammy....
I think the 94R/H7 is what you want, it should be a direct fit for a 997.2 with an OEM battery # 996.611.080.00
There are plenty of DIY's on changing the battery on the forums, so I'll leave that...
When we recently replaced the battery on our 2010 C2S I used a NAPA 8449 which is larger than OE and is the same size as Interstate's 49/H8 (length = 13.9"). The battery tray accomodates it no problem (...it would fit even larger) but to use anything larger than OE size (~ 12.4" long) you need to relocate the hold-down. Not difficult, but also not necessary if you use the OE size.
Hope that helps,

This is very impressive. I am a huge DIYer
and cant believe you guys have compiled this many tasks. Big props!
This section definitely encourages me to buy a turbo, sooner rather than later.
