he "repaired " the turbo but turbo was not damaged.

@@user-wv1pj6wh4hI assume you have never worked on a car before, he was just diagnosing the issue as it seemed like the turbo was the problem. He ruled the turbo out for 20 bucks and then moved on. Quite simple really

I always loved changing plugs in the 996/997.1 Turbo (Mezger) engines - ha ha NOT. Or when upgrading to larger fuel injectors, what a pain to change with engine in the car.

​@@user-wv1pj6wh4hengineers work for corporations , Porsche caters to people who want to over pay for things to feel superior for being able to overpay and differentiate themselves from regular pukes . They pay for that feeling . If a Porsche didn't have the highest mark up / profit margin and priced so high more people would be able to buy them making them less special . Needing expensive parts and being engineered in a way that needs many hours of expensive per hour work by technicians who know the cars , have the correct tools and authorized for newer cars means that peons won't buy used ones and do their own work making it harder to tell the difference between a wealthy Porsche owner and low life scum without money and the taste to deserve overpriced things that wealthier people do and understand what is nice and why nice things and affording the extra costs are worth it based on german egineeering which means something different the being easy to service and they would understand if they werent poor . Porsches like all premium German cars are for people who dont worry about cars past a certain amount of Miles as they purchase new ones before the egineering Is a bigger problem and with that the poor people who buy ones at the bottom of depreciation will not keep them running to appear like they deserve german egineering further protecting the image of the badge and the idea of cars like 911s or the entry car the Cayman . The engineering need only give the cars good performance and a type of fit and finish that appears better then lesser cars even if there are diminishing returns and how much better for the extra money because rich people understand this concept and the willingness to except the concept means they have the means to dispose of money in return for good things which creates the idea of having good taste which is supposed to represent something intangible outside of money that only those who are superior enough to have enough to waste can understand so one doesn't marry or have their child marry into the family of our God forbid breed with people who lack taste and discernment. Porsche executives have stated that they could sell their products for 1/2 the cost and make the same profit that they do but at the price point they have chosen its better for exclusivity which means they produce fewer cars that would need to be built as well as Warrentied etc and because people are willing to pay very high premiums for things like the Porsche crest if it makes the feel superior and able to spot other superior people anything that would make it easier to own would actually hurt that profit margin so lower unit production is actually good for porsche . Plus Porsche discovered how to use the branding on other cars not really considered Porsches by some owners of the car that thebrands built on which is the 911 making it somewhat more affordable to have something with the logo while keeping whay makes the logo strong still expensive and overpriced so that people want that badge on something like a small SUV which is antithetical to the idea of a historical Porsche that created the aura that allows for the overpricing . It's a delicate balance but egineering for simplicity in the ways you describe are not part of that balance and profit structure . If one doesn't understand that then they are not Porsche people so it doesnt matter what they think and thinking otherwise alerts the Porsche person that person doesn't have the money to have the ability to have higher tastes . Keep In mind there is NO SUBSTITUTION FOR THE PORSCHE LOGO . anything else will not be ecognized and your not in the club , the costs associated with german engineering partially pay for access to membership which is something bigger then transportation or driving fun and if one doesn't grasp that, it's good , it means they are riff raff and easily kept out of the club so one might not be fooled and interact with somebody outside their class by mistake and lower their status .

Good call, using the U bend pipe just wasted all the effort to put in the pump and canister lol.

Should never use teflon on an AN fitting

​@@justinkapano1996JB Weld instead?

I agree completely.

Always watch the videos but this channel and fixing cars don’t go together

I've always heard that Porsche has good engineering. Upgrading the suspension is a..... Why? It should handle great out the box. Why mess with it?

​@user-ql6qc9ug2j because, you can always improve on OEM...look at the Ruf and Manthey kit available, then Reiger, Ohlins, or even Bilstein will sell you upgraded dampers. You are totally right that they sell great cars, but you can genuinely improve them

​@@user-ql6qc9ug2jBecause the former owner has changed it (by replacing it with lower springs), because the shocks have worn out a bit, and because the addition of the turbo-kit begs for a more hardcore suspension. The original suspension is well engineered for it's original purpose: being a fast, allround sporty car. In Europe it will be the only car for many owners. So if your build gets more track oriented, you'll want firmer suspension.

My first thought, also, was that the pump will have a short and an unhappy life and then you are back to square one. It probably uses whatever it is pumping to lubricate and cool the actual pumping mechanism. It needs to be switched so that it is only running when it has an actual job to do.

Exactly - this guy is a Jack-leg mechanic - everything he does is half assed. That pump will be lucky to last 90 days.

That makes perfect sense. Now all you gotta do. Is tear the the engine down, and do the same with the piston rings. LOL

Oil burn is from the return line backing up and the seal leaks

Glad I could help

@@Samcrac lol always love the videos tho can always relate to trying to doing things as cheap and simple as possible even if it takes time. At least you always end up with new knowledge on how to fix things, instead of throwing things away and getting new like everyone else does. Thats why my beat old Acura has 315k and still rips.😂

FleshLight for your car

Nope STILL cant find it, send more pictures and instructions

Did you buy the 1 meter or 5 meter long variant?

That's what you get for buying an el cheapo pump.

Noise may be from no oil, if engine hadn't started yet.

I have a cooling pump on my transaxle. It makes the same noise until the oil warms up and flows easier, then it's silent.

I totally agree , more so if your using a lot of it..also balancing the turbo would of been a better way to do it, but it’s not a deal killer..I’ve done it both ways..

Hard set pipe dope works on everything man and then you don't have to worry about that aluminum onto the metal

​@@davidgentz1731Seems like I've worked on cars you've owned and butchered.

I thought it was some kind of a prank product. Who would buy that? lol

@@OMGWTFLOLSMHmany people do its really not that stupid of an idea.

The safe bet is...safe. Low risk, no real reward. Everything I own has a custom suspension with angles I calculated. That can either get expensive or mean you fabricate many of the parts, yourself, but it's DEFINITELY worth it. When you don't right, the car you end up with both feels and handles EXACTLY the way you want it to.

@@kender1412 That’s badass.

​@@kender1412The reward is a package you know gives the original ride quality and handling. Suspension, like most engineering, is a compromise and decent ride quality is important for many/most owners that use their car as a daily driver.

Pst: 'chanel' is a perfume....

What does approachable mean?

@@PointNemo9 In this context I'm saying he makes videos in a simple way so others can feel confident to grab a wrench and work on their car.

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the input

Maybe they are well aware of the issue but instead of fixing drain issue they drain money for turbo repairs

Yeah, I'm sure it's fun to have a boosted Cayman, but these aftermarket kits always seem to lead to various non-stop problems. Turbo kits are for the birds.

Non to mention the extra perk of being less loud than the cheap ones.

What? On _this_ channel, cheap is ALWAYS the solution. lol

Yep. Big wheels are not for ride comfort. I'd rather have more sidewall.

There's not a lot of room to put them anywhere else and by nature of the flat six design, the turbo has to be low because that's where the exhaust is. Plus it's a very niche market so not a lot of companies wade into a limited mkt. You basically have the 3-letter option and that's it.

😊

Yep manufacturers always have a recommended dia for the inlet on top of the turbo, easy to miss this out when re building if it has a restrictor instead of sized inlet flange.

How do you know? You went through the same problem? Is it an inline restrictor, or is it a smaller feed line?

@@michaelvette7659 It was an inline restrictor in my case. I didn't read the fine print on the turbo kit. I noticed because of the excess oil in the intake tracts

😂😂😂

Was thinking the same as I watched him struggle 😂

If anything the pump will die from running dry while the ignition is on with the engine not running. Still not an ideal setup.

Bizarre that the retailer would sell it without. It should be part of the kit.

If the seals are working, you wouldn't need to pump the oil out, no?

@@Netherlands031 The way turbo seals work they always have a small gap in them. They are actually called piston rings because they are metal rings with a slit in them to account for heat expansion. If the center housing gets filled with oil and begins to pressurize, the oil will push past the rings, especially on deceleration and when the housings are under the least pressure or vacuum. Any turbo setup with the center housing of the turbo lower than the top of the oil pan will generally need a scavenge pump to ensure proper drainage.
