TO, Bruce
I got the work done at Boardwalk Porshe in Plano or whatever they are called now. (PorsheofPlano) They worked on my car ever since I had it. Yeah the guys up there are pretty sharp and see a lot of boxsters. I've talked to a few of the mechanics and walked away each time with some good knowledge. There prices, according to what I hear some pay at a Indie shops, they are expensive.

I got the water pump and the bearing in the trunk of the car. Bearing still looked oily so I didn't take it out the plastic zip loc bag. Wiggled it in the plastic zip loc bag though and it felt tight! Water pump still had all the plastic impellers thank goodness. Pics coming after I clean it up.

That bearing is going to work for me as a paper weight or if I can figure out how to hang it in frame on my wall here at work. Everytime the status bar comes up on my computer, I be flipping this thing around throwing it in the air, spinning it like a top here at my desk! This bearing is officially forced into early retirement.

As far as the cost? To be continued. Most of the works was covered under Warranty but I still have to give them the shirt of my back on the way out to get my keys. Got to look through all the paper work.

Its a great feeling...when the shop calls and says, ok all is done and the operation went well. Even better is when you get to drive it the first time and think in your head...NOPE - NOT GOING TO BLOW UP TODAY!!!
