Protomotive Fuel Return to 6AN Adapter for 996 Turbo
What are they for?
- When upgrading your fuel system the Fuel Return to 6AN Adapter for 996 Turbo will make a 6AN return line a snap!
- These will slide right into the oem return line fitting on the engine and provide a 6AN male fitting for you to connect to.
- This will help improve the flow of your fuel system when upgrading to high flow fuel pumps like the Protomotive Single Walbro 450 drop in, or Protomotive Dual Walbro 450 fuel pump upgrade.
- This is for a 6AN upgrade to the chassis side return line while maintaining the OEM engine side return line.
Can I do this myself?
- Sure you can! This makes it easy for you 🙂
- If you need help with the rest of the fuel system, AN fittings, or lines, just ask.
- We stock a lot of these to build our complete fuel systems and may have exactly what you need!
What are they made of?
- These are CNC machined out of billet 304 Stainless steel for a long lasting upgrade.
- The tab is also 304 SS.
- The E-Clip is a black oxide coated 1/2″ sized clip.
How can I check for leaks?
- With the engine still in the car, and all of your fuel system connected you can either use a Durametric cable or Piwis to activate the fuel pump.
- You can also quickly crank the engine over to build some pressure then check the fitting for any drips or smell of fuel.
- The return line has very little to no pressure on it, so it won’t spray like the pressure side would when the pumps are on and running.
- With the engine out of the car, connect the Fuel Return to 6AN adapter fitting for 996 turbo to the return fuel line and put a bolt through the tab to hold it in place.
- Place a 6AN cap on the male 6AN fitting, then pressurize the fuel system at the inlet fitting with an air line.
- Spray some soapy water on the fitting to be sure there’s no bubbles.
- If there are replace your O-rings, apply some white lithium grease and try it again.
Can I watch a video explaining some of this?
- Of course 🙂
- Check out Your 996 turbo fuel system has a secret! on YouTube or in our Tech Library
- And Engineering Explained: Fuel Injectors, pumps and More! (Tech Talk) on YouTube.
Are any extra parts required?
- These are listed in PET without dimensions, sorry 🙁 But here are the part numbers it shows for the O-rings
- 999 707 505 40 0-ring Black (99970750540, 999-707-505-40)
- 999 707 506 40 o-ring Beige or Blue (99970750640, 999-707-506-40)

Posted on Damien Desormeaux Drove a stock 996TT and wasnt sold. Ended up buying a 996TT with a Protomotive Tune, turbos, fender mount intakes, etc... and I am impressed every time I drive the car. As the boost builds it pulls you deep into the seats, and at normal throttle it is very tame and drives as though its a stock car. Can not recommend them enough.Posted on Paul Todd’s consulting services helped me with a difficult and expensive desision. His honesty and valued expertise game me the insite I needed. Extreamy greatfull. Paul (07 997.1 Florida)Posted on Boxstclever I just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thankyou from England!! I posted a comment asking a question (as Boxtclever) on your video "How to Diagnose 996 and 997tt Variable Lifter Issues" last week, and you kindly responded almost immediately. I have a slow burner project 996 Turbo that some time ago I removed the engine due to a knocking noise which would come and go at idle, and disappear once some revs were applied. I didn't have the confidence to tear it apart and rebuild the engine at the time so gave it to a friend who builds race engines for a living, and has a lot of experience building 911 Cup car engines. The knocking sound was believed to be due to a slightly stretched timing chain and worn chain guides. Once back in the car and running, I had the issue you describe perfectly in the video in that when driving, it wouldn't rev past 3k and record multiple misfires. I spent hours searching for the issue before someone on the 911uk forum suggested your video. After posting my comment, I have managed to see that the gasket on Bank 1 (our passenger side) did in fact have the stamped letters and numbers facing outwards, but showing for cylinders 4-6!! With the engine still in the car, I just can't get to see the gasket orientation for Bank 2 (not that it really matters now), so I removed the intercooler, lowered the engine and removed the actuator, and it's pretty clear that I can see the gasket rather than the end of the oil gallery. It seems that supplying the builder with just the block meant he went into GT3 mode, as those gaskets are not handed. Anyway, I just wanted to express my huge gratitude, as without your video, I would have been chasing the issue round and potentially ending up spending a lot of money on diagnostics trying to locate the issue. So, engine out, and back to the builder to rectify. Thanks again,Posted on Nick Kalashnik Great people! They really know their stuff.Posted on Dmitriy Todd tuned my 2007 911 Turbo (997.1 Mezger) with a focus on safety—minimizing knock and being gentle on the stock rods. Power gains were secondary, but the results exceeded expectations. Knock is virtually eliminated compared to the OEM tune, making it significantly safer, and the car feels like a rocket. Amazing work.Posted on Valenchino L I've been with Protomotive (Todd) for over 17 year, he has tuned a few of my 911 turbos and helped me along the way. i cant say enought good things about him, LETS JUST SAY HE'S ONE OF THE BEST AMONG A FEW . Richard LimPosted on Greg Mullins Todd and the Protomotive team are simply the best. In 2009 we installed K24/18G turbos, injectors and tune on my 996T. 16 years and 65K miles since upgrades and the car is still running strong at 137K total mileage on the original engine. This past week I was fortunate to visit Protomotive to pick up my welded coolant pipes. The welds are incredible. Todd was very gracious with his time and provided a full shop tour including in house CNC machine shop, hub chassis dyno and engine dyno cell. His knowledge of modifying and tuning Porsche turbo cars is unparalleled and the quality of Protomotive custom parts is simply incredible. Whether you want a "mild" 575-600 hp car like mine or a 1500 WHP monster, Protomotive is the place.Posted on Scott Studer Working with Todd / Protomotive has been a spectacular experience!! We recently purchased a 2001 911 Turbo that My Wife and I would like to drive on track. Our goal was to have "two maps" so that both a New / more experienced driver can share the same car. We were able to get on track last weekend and it was All SMILES. Todd's level of expertise / willingness to help is unparalleled. Thanks TODD!!Posted on AJ Konkol I can't say enough great things about Todd and Protomotive! Being a shop owner myself it's very hard to trust anyone to touch my personal stuff and when I got my 2007 911 I undertook some major maintenance items.....I sent me cams and turbos into Todd and he had incredible communication and advice.....answered all of my questions VERY thoroughly and helped me every step of the way....I will definitely be back in the future for more things and have no hesitation to refer people to him for anything they may need. It's refreshing to find great and knowledgable shops like this.Posted on Jeremy Wu I had no idea what I was going to get when I was recommended Todd, but after every speed shop I spoke to in the PNW said this was the only guy for the job, I figured it was probably my best bet. I work with one of the largest independent Porsche dealers in the United States, and even with our resources, I was unable to find a willing, able, and qualified technician for my specific issue. I have been fighting diagnosing regarding drivability/tuning on my 4.0L 996.2 Carrera, and I needed to bring in the big guns to figure out my problem. Todd is the big guns. He knows the ins and outs of air and water cooled Porsches like the back of his hand, and I have 100% confidence in recommending him to anyone for any work they need done on these cars. He has done remote datalogging/analysis and side by side diagnosis with the technicians on my end, and has helped us through every step of the process. Todd and his team are A1, top notch, best of the best.Load more
