Hi,

Just caught this thread - see: http://www.pca.org/tech/tech_qa_question.asp?id={5628EC8F-3626-40D2-8AE0-E9F524E0718F} . I'm still not totally convinced, I think there's an error in the methodology. That's an approx. 6 CHP gain, and I'm just not convinced this part robs 6 HP. I can hold a thermometer in my hand and watch the Mercury rise, that doesn't mean I've made the room any warmer, or conversely, that I have cooled the room when I release the thermometer. There's no reason for Porsche to do it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
