Скачать или смотреть Fabspeed Downpipe Changed Everything - 944 Turbo AOS Install Made Easy (944 Turbo Project - Part 5)

Replacing the air-oil separator (AOS) O-rings on a Porsche 944 Turbo is supposed to be a simple job — except Porsche made it so you normally have to remove the entire turbocharger just to access the heat shield, which must be removed to access the AOS.

In this video, I show how I was able to remove and reinstall the 944 Turbo AOS heat shield without pulling the turbo — saving hours of labor, frustration, and busted knuckles — all because of one key difference: an aftermarket Fabspeed downpipe.

If you’re working on a Porsche 951 / 944 Turbo, this is one of those jobs that can turn into a nightmare… unless you know this trick.

In this video you’ll see:

How the AOS heat shield is normally accessed (and why it’s a pain)

How an aftermarket downpipe changes access completely

Reinstalling the AOS heat shield without removing the turbo

Reinstalling the J-boot to a larger Evergreen Raptor X turbo (not fun)

Rearranging wiring and vacuum lines for intake manifold reinstallation

This is real DIY Porsche 944 Turbo work — no shortcuts, no shop lifts, no magic tools — just problem solving and a better way to do the job.

If you’re rebuilding, refreshing, or maintaining a 944 Turbo / 951, this will save you serious time.
