Ben is still making the tubes and is currently located in France.
Thank You for the feedback exactly the type I was digging for, a does or does not. Lol

Did you have to change the enging mapping at all? Or basically plug and play.

I kept the 986 MAF holder and plumbed the whole thing with 3" plastic tubing. I purchased the Softronic tune, but that was more for the 100 cell cats and ignition advance than anything else.

No you don't have to. Mine and many others have run fine without a remap. I did do a remap and gained more power but I didn't do it out of necessity.

Nice list of mods, did you put the under drive pulleys on and if so any benefit?

I have a friend who is a 911 turbo freak had 8 of em now, he said on my car needed a lighter flywheel and lower springs when he drove it. Said the fly make big difference in performance because the engine will rev quicker.

Now I saw Pelican has FABspeed exhaust with 10% discount, was almost totally convinced for a FVD, but now reconsidering the discount covers the shipping cost to the APO and it was initially my first pick for exhaust.

Mine was a plug and play. I needed about 50 - 80 miles for the system to get used to the new components.
