Hey Ohio,
Thanks! No, these pictures were taken in my garage. I took the pictures while lying on my back (ouch!!). I was thinking about it, but I decided to wait for the next install (re: cats and exhaust) to take on your suggestion with the torch technique. Basically, I caved in :chicken: and made an appointment with my Porsche mechanic for tomorrow at 10am EST. When I called him, he told me that he had a 944 turbo just the other day with the same problem. Too bad I didn't know. I would have watched and learned.
