Not quite, James. The comment was that there are 912E parts that are more expensive than 912 parts. And that is very true. Just try to find the large rubber "boot" that runs from the air flow meter to the throttle body. (I dare ya!) Or the ECU. Or the distributor. Or the exhaust. The boot and heat exchangers are definitely NLA; I think the rest are as well. Hard to find and quite $$ when you do. Definitely more than the equivalent 912 parts.
