Hi Nick, our
Turbo Tie Rod Kit 930 347 020 00KIT has been well-received in the 911 community. We've even been providing OEM bellows with our kits for the last year or so, after having issues with the rubber bellows in our kits sold prior to 2019.

Our
Master Cylinder 911 355 012 02 has undergone several running changes over the last few years:
• In early 2018, we discovered that customers didn't realize they had to reuse their original stand-off washers (located under the rubber grommets) for the fluid feed lines. Not using the washers resulted in minor reservoir fluid leakage, which resulted in some hysteria online (even though reservoir line weep has nothing to do with brake line pressure). Rather than add a note to the box about reusing the washers, we began providing new, pre-installed washers. Installation and bleeding Porsche 914 master cylinders is still difficult and unpleasant, but providing the stand-off washers made installation a bit easier for folks.
• In Fall of 2018 we had a production run with mounting ears that were a bit thicker than OE, though this had no impact on fitment or performance. Ears were thinned to match OE for subsequent production runs.
• In Summer of 2019, we received some reports of fluid weeping from the Welch plug on the cylinder body. Our engineers tested quite a few units from inventory at very high fluid pressure (much higher than maximum vehicle braking pressure), but were unable to force any units to leak at the Welch plug. But just to be sure, we had the production line start adding a high-strength epoxy sealant to the top periphery of the plug.
If anyone has any issues with a recently-purchased master cylinder, we certainly want to hear about it. If anyone bought one of the older units and had issues with it, we're happy to provide you with a warranty exchange, just send us a message and we'll get you taken care of.
