944 turbo pattern front wings

[p.bestie]

has anybody seen or used pattern front wings before as i am looking for some wings for my turbo se. porsche want around £300 a side where as porscheshop want around half that price. just wondered if anyone has fitted the pattern wings.

Also has anyone upgraded to a stage 2 DME chip, a stage 2 KLR chip and 1 bar boost banjo bolt (reduces the speed of exhaust gas to wastegate)

i soon will hope to put some pics of my 944 turbo SE restoration project on this site.
Cheers for any help or advice, Phil.

Nah, we all bin Gurued 'ere mate. []

Guru upgrade (from Guru Racing in the States and now availabale from Andrew Sweetenham ProMax in the UK) includes:-

DME & KLR chips
3 bar Fuel Pressure Regulator
Waste Gate Shims
ReliaBoost (Banjo bolt valve thingy)

Allows 16 psi boost (or 1 bar) and goes like something fast that just had another 50 bhp added.

Have you thought about second hand wings?

No experience of 944 pattern wings, but:

I have a Mk2 Golf GTI that I think would be worth about a grand if I tidied it up. Part of tidying it up is to replace a wing that was dented when I bought it. I'm not going to use a pattern wing because I doubt it will fit well enough.

That said I'm sure I read a few weeks ago that Simon Butterworth at Porschapart has stopped selling second hand wings because they ALL have corrosion at the bottom behind the wheel arch (is that why you need some?)

If I remember correctly, one of the Titanic trackday regulars used a pattern wing after a little dent and he did say the lines were very slightly different. I couldn't tell myself, it looked fine. I spoke to Simon Butterworth recently and he did say that nearly all the s/h wings they see now have corrosion to some extent at the bottom edge. I've just bought a wing from Silverstone Porsche and it was £312 after the PCGB discount (I wish they had delivered the correct side [] )
