OK.. I didn't trace the fuel feed back that far. Where does it unscrew. You are talking about the feed line not on the rail right?

I think you are confused again. I am talking about the fitting that attached the feed line to the boxster rail. You can get a metric to AN adapter that will allow you to attach your new section of feed hose to this fitting without cutting the chassis side fuel line up to attach the hose with your new fitting for the 996 rail to the chassis metal fuel feed tube.

I already cut off the plastic fuel line that was attached to the metal feed. It has a flare in it so I feel that that should be sufficient to put the new fuel line to. If you want I can take a photo of everything to better explain.

I understand exactly what you did, I just personally would have never done it that way.

I just wanted to have as few connections as possible.

I don't know exactly how far you have gotten, but, if the engine is not yet installed, you might want to consider checking the IMS bearing for wear or play.
Here is a link to a video produced by Charles Navarro of LN Engineering, which will give you a good idea on what is involved:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvLRMGs-Ti8
If you have the single-row bearing on your new engine, you can retrofit an upgraded, severe duty ceramic bearing without tearing down the engine.
You only have to remove the flywheel and the IMS flange to examine and/or replace the bearing.
IMHO, it is well worth the effort for the peace of mind it will afford you.
Regards, Maurice.

Schoir,
I did look through their site. Seems like a good thing to do. It also seems to be alot of money. I know at this point whats another 600 bux. Do you have any experience on any of these? I don't know what is involved in pulling the piece off that there speaking of. The motor is not yet in the car. I was waiting for a pilot bearing to come, which finally got here. Let me know if you have any more info on this. Thanks for the concern.
Jay
