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 Kit™ is the best permanent, 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 inoperable wing. We offer several wing heights when deployed:
4 3/4” [120 mm] eRam Kit™
Provides SUPERIOR aerodynamic downforce, as the wing is up higher in cleaner air approaching GT2, GT3 and GT4 wings while improving rear wheel down force at higher speed. This eRam Kit™ raises the wing 4 3/4” above the decklid when deployed. For the 996 Turbo Coupe, a full 2.4” [54 mm] above the factory raised height. For the Cabriolet, the wing is 1.6″ [40mm] higher than stock. Superior aesthetics – you can readily see the wing deploy in the rear-view mirror, observers can easily see your raised wing on the street or track.

This eRam Kit™ raises the 997 Turbo wing 4 3/4” above parked position when up. For the 996 Turbo coupe, this is a full 2.4” [54 mm] above the factory height or 1.6″ [40mm] higher for the Cabriolet. Impressive aesthetics – easily see the wing deploy in the rearview mirror, observers will take note of your raised wing on the street or track. We recommend this eRam Kit™ for track use.

This 3″ eRam Kit™ is 0.6” [15 mm] higher than stock 996 turbo coupe’s extended wing and is 0.2″ [5mm] LOWER for the cabriolet. Sits flush to the decklid when parked. This is a popular eRam Kit™ for those who want to retain more of a stock feel, with a nice look with the wing extended. PURCHASE HERE
2” [50 mm] eRam Kit™
For the 996 Turbo Coupe, this is the most economical solution for those who want to retain the 996 Turbo coupe’s modest factory wing extension height and look. An economical choice for replacing a dead factory hydraulic system at about half the cost of a new factory mechanism – with all the added eRam Kit™ benefits. 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 mechanism e.g. the 4 3/4″ 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 about 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: Your dealer cannot supply these items for the factory wing. Often owners revert to a working wing on their 996 Turbo, but a used wing may not have the threaded lugs. For those who need new threaded lugs to mount their factory wing to the eRams or factory hydraulic system. 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 4-3/4″ and two speeds, standard and SuperFast. This isn’t possible with the factory hydraulic system. Only with the eRam Kit can the 997 wing be bolted onto the back of a 996 Turbo! The fully assembled eRam Kit™ consists of two self-contained electric rams with all fasteners, electrical connections and tiny MicroModule Device™ with LEDs to prevent the spoiler warning. Designed for easy installation and maintenance. No cutting, drilling or modification of any part of the car. Nearly plug and play! Easily maintained – no special tools needed. Easily modified (for instance to upgrade to taller rams or add Dust & Moisture Boots). As mentioned by our customers, “How Porsche® should have done it.” Designed with HEAVY DUTY, self-contained light weight electric rams having two built in limit switches in each electric ram (unlike the factory hydraulic rams) – greatly reducing the risk of failure. Our electric ram specification is difficult to meet. 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.
Watch the “SuperFast Version™” 4 inch eRam Kit™ in Operation ELEGANT – SIMPLER – MORE ROBUST – LIGHTER – HIGHER – SAFER – MORE DOWNFORCE PATENTED, ORIGINAL AND BEST all-electric turbo wing 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 ridgid specification for the electric rams. 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 4 3/4″ 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 4-3/4″ 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.
