996 Turbo eRam Kit™
NO MORE HYDRAULICS!™
Don’t risk Power Steering fluid leaks into your engine bay or down the bumper. Extensively designed and engineered to permanently fix the overly complex and troublesome factory hydraulic mechanism.
Since 2015, our patented eRam electric wing conversion is the best permanent and economical solution for a fully functional wing!
WORKS EXACTLY LIKE THE FACTORY MECHANISM. Up at 75 MPH, down at 37 MPH, or with the switch.
996 Turbo eRam Kit™ Choices
Every eRam Kit™ comes preassembled – ready to bolt onto the 996 Turbo deck lid and wire up – works exactly the same as factory system. Why settle for a fixed or static wing. We offer several wing heights to suit your taste:
5” [125 mm] eRam Kit™
This eRam Kit™ provides superior aerodynamic downforce by raising the wing to a height that approaches those of GT2, GT3, and GT4 models, improving rear-wheel stability at higher speeds. When deployed, the wing is elevated 5” above the decklid. For the 996 Turbo Coupe, this is 2.7” (60 mm) higher than the factory raised position, and for the Cabriolet, it’s 1.8” (48 mm) higher than stock. Aesthetic improvements are also clear: The wing is easily visible in the rear-view mirror when deployed, standing out to onlookers both on the street and on the track.

4.8″ [122 mm] eRam Kit™ for 996 Turbo with your 997 Turbo Wing
This eRam Kit™ delivers EXCEPTIONAL aerodynamic downforce by elevating your 997 Turbo wing into cleaner air, similar to the factory GT2, GT3, and GT4 models, ensuring optimal rear-wheel stability at high speeds. The kit raises the wing 4 ¾” above its parked position when deployed. For the 996 Turbo Coupe, this adds 2.4” (54 mm) to the factory height, while the Cabriolet gains 1.6” (40 mm) over stock. The enhanced aesthetics are undeniable, with the wing clearly visible in the rearview mirror and catching attention on the street or track. Ideal for track use, we highly recommend this unique eRam Kit™.

When raised, the wing is 0.4″ [10MM] lower than stock on the Coupe. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE CABRIOLET. PURCHASE HERE
eRam Kit™ Options / Accessories / Tools
SuperFast Version™
- Reduces up / down stroke time significantly. The wing travels up or down faster than the factory hydraulic mechanism e.g. the 5″ or 4″ eRam stroke time reduced from 11 seconds to just over 3 seconds. The 3″ stroke time is under 3 seconds, while the 2″ eRam actuation time is less than 2 seconds. PURCHASE HERE
Dust & Moisture Boots
- Protect your eRam Kit™ investment. These are a safeguard for keeping the electric rams dry, dust free and looking like new. When ordered, come pre-installed on your eRam Kit™. Note; the color is from gray to black. PURCHASE HERE
Pin Wrench
- This tool is convenient for removing the wing from the factory hydraulic rams. Makes the job of removing the wing easy and safer. PURCHASE HERE
996 Turbo Threaded Wing Lugs
- The dealer cannot supply these. Needed if you purchase an aftermarket wing or a used wing without ram attachment lugs. PURCHASE HERE
996 Turbo eRam Kit™ Details / Specifications
Quit spending time, effort and money on the troublesome factory hydraulic wing mechanism. Why risk hydraulic failure and subsequent leak of corrosive (and flammable) Pentosin® power steering fluid onto your motor or back bumper? The original factory hydraulic system can be rebuilt but can NEVER be prevented from failing or leaking fluid. There are far too many things that will go wrong (detailed HERE).
The robust all-electric eRam Kit™ can never leak and eRam Kit™ parts are easily removed with standard tools for servicing or upgrading…
Your dealer charges over $3000 to install a replacement factory hydraulic mechanism.
Our patented 996 Turbo electric eRam Kit™ consists of two pre-assembled electric rams that simply bolt onto the engine lid with absolutely NO modifications, and a tiny “MicroModule Device™” that connects to the factory wiring. Nearly plug and play! The eRam Kit™ includes all necessary hardware and illustrated step by step instructions are emailed once ordered. Works exactly like the factory mechanism. Upgrade from the troublesome factory hydraulic mechanism to the simpler, lighter, yet more robust eRam Kit™. Available in four heights from 2″ to 5″ and two speeds, standard and SuperFast. This isn’t possible with the factory hydraulic system! It is only possible to bolt a 997 Turbo Wing onto our eRam system! The fully assembled eRam Kit™ consists of two self-contained electric rams with all fasteners, electrical connections and tiny MicroModule Device™ with trouble-shooting LEDs that prevents the spoiler warning. Designed for easy installation and maintenance. No cutting, drilling or modification to any part of the car. Nearly plug and play! Easily maintained – no special tools needed once installed. Easily modified (for instance to upgrade to TALLER RAMS or to add the Dust & Moisture Boots). Designed using HEAVY DUTY, self-contained light weight electric rams having two built-in limit switches in each electric ram (unlike the factory hydraulic rams with only one set having the limit switches). Greatly reduces the risk of failure. Designed to work exactly like the factory system. Extends by using the console spoiler switch or upon reaching 75 MPH (120 K/h). Retract with the spoiler switch, or upon slowing to 37 MPH (60 K/h). COST EFFECTIVE – our eRam Kit™ is far cheaper than a new factory mechanism- and will NEVER leak or fail due to the many problems attributed to the hydraulic design. We have identified 13 failure points which can be reviewed HERE. Installation of an eRam Kit™ takes about 2 hours for anyone with basic mechanical skills and tools. Most customers install the eRam Kit™ themselves. No mechanical or electrical modifications needed. We provide illustrated written instructions and installation video links. Watch the “SuperFast Version™” 4 inch eRam Kit™ in Operation PATENTED, ORIGINAL AND THE BEST all-electric turbo wing elevation system. Even PORSCHE® dealers are getting in on this! Wing operation with an eRam Kit™ is identical to the factory system; either by using the dash SPOILER switch or when driving. Automatically deploys the wing up at 75 MPH (120 km/h) and down at 37 MPH (60 km/h). The self-contained motor driven electric rams are designed for harsh environments and are protected from moisture or water with a dual-seal design. Adding the recommended Dust & Moisture Boots is cheap insurance that protects the ram motor and gearbox from dust, moisture and harsh engine bay conditions. The eRam Kit™ is designed for harsh environmental conditions. We developed a rigid specification for the electric rams. Example: If you used your Turbo as a daily driver 5 days per week and took 4 trips per day on a highway causing the rams to cycle 8 times, that equates to 2,000 cycles per year, or 0.23 cycles per hour on average. The patented eRam Kit™ has a very conservative 25% duty cycle. Thus, you would be able to safely cycle your wing 300 times per hour. This equates to a 1300:1 safety factor for a conservative duty cycle! Many eRam Kits™ have been purchased by owners that track their Turbo. Faster lap times have been reported. The eRam Kit™ performed flawlessly during multiple high speed trials over 200 MPH! Track and aggressive drivers usually opt for the 4″ or 5″ eRam Kit™ for the benefit of better down-force at the track. Height is similar to the GT3 and GT4 wings. Wing operation is stable with smooth and precise actuation. Street or track, operation is exactly the same. Note our track car had a flexible AERO-SPLITTER in the front (about $100 on eBay) – a nice balance to the higher rear wing! Quicker lap times were achieved with the 4″ eRam Kit™ installed. For the 996 Turbo, the wing rises 1.6″ [36mm] higher – in cleaner air for greater down-force at the back. We have several customers reporting faster lap times! High speed track testing with the 4.8″ eRam Kit™ with 997 Turbo Wing took place over many weekends at Road America, Wisconsin while the 4″ eRam Kit™ was tested at the 2-mile Grattan Speedway, Michigan. A 3″ eRam Kit™ was tested at the 2.4 mile Mid-Ohio Raceway: Have aftermarket Y-pipe, boost hoses or airbox (Fabspeed, EVOMS, Turbokraft, etc.)? Generally these are fine with an eRam Kit™. The Turbokraft airbox will only accommodate the 3″ or 2″ eRam Kit™. We have a guideline to help you check, download HERE. Please contact us for further fitment info.
