Porsche 996 Turbo Gets BBi Autosport
Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Upgrade Kit





This Black Porsche 996 Turbo fell victim to the infamous slave cylinder failure and it was towed back to our shop to replace the defective unit with our BBi 996/997 Turbo GT2 Style Slave Cylinder Conversion Kit. The factory power-assisted clutch system has always been the Achilles heel for the Porsche 997 Turbo.



Utilizing the power steering system to help reduce the force needed to depress the clutch pedal, it is a flawed design that delivers a mushy pedal feel with poor feedback, and is highly prone to failure. Our system addresses both of those issues by eliminating the problematic factory power-assist system for improved reliability and pedal feedback. Unlike other kits, our system is designed be used with OEM clutch master cylinder, hose, and spring pack. This eliminates the need for additional parts, making our kit a complete plug and play solution.





The other kits on the market simply adapts factory 996 GT2 parts with aftermarket brackets and caps off the power steering pump with plugs. Our kit is our very own proprietary design and does not plug the power steering pump because the plugs can fail. Instead, the power steering fluid is routed through the unit to simulate the factory system. This is a must upgrade for the 996 and 997 Turbo to achieve the excellent pedal feedback and reliability similar to that of the Porsche 997 GT2 and GT3 without compromising drivability.

Taking a look inside reveals a well kept black interior with 84,230 miles on the odometer. Black on black is definitely a desirable color combination.







Installation performed on a lift in our service bay and typically requires 5 hours to complete
