Attn all you Porsche parts guys:

Any word on price/availability of retrofitting the new Turbo PDK wheel (with paddles vs. buttons)? I would like one in standard black leather for my C4S. I'm assuming the airbag itself is transferable and it just requires installation (a couple of bolts and plugs). I'd imagine there will be more than a few of us here (and probably several on Rennlist) interested in doing the swap.

Thanks in advance!

 

Isn't the standard PDK wheel a triangle airbag? The one in the turbo is a circular airbag.

 

last I had heard it is a quite involved job to do this, ie expensive, however that may have changed

 

You can only order it in March 2010 according to my dealer.

 

good to know thanks I'm thinking of retrofitting the turbo steering wheel my self

 

Chris how about the Thicker techart wheel ?

 

Me too, I bet it come with a heavy price tag too.

 

Schwabe - It's a round airbag (round center).



Mo - I don't like anything Tech-Art except for their road wheels. Their steering wheel is too chunky-looking for me. Plus, if I have an original Porsche part installed by the dealer, then it helps resale (a big reason I am considering the retrofit).

 

^^^ wow did not know that you have the CF seats
How are they?

 

They are awesome! Very comfortable (my wife and I sat in them for hours and hours driving cross-country) and supportive, but I wish I could adjust the rake angle (I like my seats more vertical).
