Today i was searching around my favorite non porsche auto parts site ( rock auto) and low and behold i saw they have the turbo tie rod kit for $79!!!! now compare that to the other porsche parts specialist at $150 to $180. some of you might know this already but i thought i'd share it with the ones who don't. the also have lots of other 914 parts for a lot cheaper than the other guys. just no specialty stuff.
cheap porsche parts for everyone!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

my cheapo knock off turbo tie rod story is one of the boots, they failed, crakced rubber within one year, and the boots were never used, the they failed before use' after one year. the rubber was a very high gloss, almost like a PVC plastic, kind of like a plastic beach ball. the good "real" boot rubber looks more like a tire material, a flat black, not glossy.
I confirmed that not one, but two sets of these boots failed. so if your turbo tierod boots are of a glossy finish, use care, they might self destruct rather fast. are these boots glossy or flat back finish?????? |
