    Some functions can be preset using a PIWIS and some can not. Sometimes cars come with some options preset and sometimes not. IMHO... the main reason for hooking up a PIWIS (or PST2) after an install is to see if there are any trouble codes generated by the install. You won't really know if it is "required" until you try. Thank you for donation - it all helps keep to this site running.

    Porsche does not show that as a valid code for their cars. From the Standardized DTC to SAE J 2012 (DTC-Diagnostic Trouble Codes) generic code list that means: O2 Control (Bank 2) System too lean

    Porsche specs on those size wheels (for a 997 C4S) are: Front offset: 55 mm Rear offset: 67 mm or on a slightly smaller front wheel Front 19 x 8 offset 57 mm Rear 19 x 11 offset 51 mm

    Not as detailed as the pics but, it is your Owner's Manual too.

    What spoiler are you using? The TT/C4S aerokit or 3rd party? If it is 3rd party then does it have a stop light?
  7. Loren
    The compuer/CD unit still comes up in the price list. 996.642.122.12.EWD COMPUTER-NAV UNIT (MY02 only) $1553.66 (as of January 2006)
  8. Loren
    No, that is for CDC-4 and MY03 and newer cars.

    Navigation disks are available from NAVTECH. Their customer support number is 1 (888) 628-6277.

    Not necessarily, if there is enough carbon then it will absorb gas and make the mixture too rich on warm starts. Bottom line is that if it's dirty clean it - it can only help.

    We have added new Maintenance Checklists for the Boxster (986). Check it out here.
  12. Loren
    If your car is egas then it should look just like the pic above. On egas cars there is nothing to disassenble. Just open the butteryfly and clean it throughly with carb cleaner.

    Do a search here for "coolant tank" - unfortunately a very common fault.

    The Boxster maintenance should be pretty much the same as the Carrera - based on model year. I just got a newer version of the Boxster service manual - so I'll have to check there. Edit - Just added the Boxster (986) Maintenance Checklists. You can find them here.

    If you use the factory recommended tires/tire sizes (for the wheel size) you will not have any problems.
  18. Loren
    Center console compartment or door compartment?
  19. Loren
    What year car?
  20. Loren
    Flash it to what? There is only one Porsche DME program for a MY99 Carrera. If you mean buy an aftermarket chip - then my only advice is to choose a shop that will give you a dyno run from your own car - proving the before HP (at the rear wheels) and after HP (at the rear wheels).

    The beep says one or more zones is open. Most common causes are center console lid, front trunk microswitch, 3rd party radio installed without disconnecting the built-in radio alarm trigger... but it could be any triggering switch/zone. The fastest way to tell for sure is with a PST2 - it will tell exactly which zone is open. If you can't find find it easily let me know and I can hook my PST2 up to your car (since you are local).
  22. Loren
    US, Canada or RoW car?

    You will want to get some carburetor cleaner and a lint free rag to clean the throttle body and butterfly (1). You will likely want to remove and clean the idle control valve (3) too. If the (insides) of the valve does not turn freely then it may need to be replaced. To remove the Idle Control Valve just disconnect the electrical connector, then remove the two (allen head - I think) screws. Be careful to not lose or damage the paper gasket (16) that fits between the valve and the throttle body. This is an egas throttle body that we cleaned at a work on cars day - your's won't look quite the same but the carbon build up on this one made the car idle erratically. I should of held the butterfly open so you could see how badly carbon'ed up the inside of the throttle body was. (Tool Pant's image)

    According to the Cayenne install TSB some Cayenne's may not need to be coded. It may also depend on what other options are already on the car.
  25. Loren
    That should not hurt anything.
