Default i'd do it soon.. Dougherty Porsche in west chester does good work.

not sure what's the name of the website that sells the oem tb kit .. search a bit and you'll find the info.
82 autowerks is in geigertown .. worth the trip imo.

Default I've been trying to find the all of the "OEM" parts for the Timing Belt/Water Pump job, but....

but most of the tuners here only carry bits a pieces of the full kits that are OEM. They are OE but not the actual OEM parts.

I would like to find a place that has the entire kit at a good price.

Default Good luck, even the dealer OEM parts vary depending on time/supply...

ie water pumps that are all sold under the same PN but are from up to three different manufacturers. Kind of hard to determine exactly what OEM is in those circumstances...
