2025 FSI Engine Owners Class is in the books.

The 2025 Flat Six Innovations “Engine Owner’s Class” was a resounding success, bringing together FSI engine owners from around the world for a one-of-a-kind experience. With attendees from Australia to New York to Washington state, this exclusive class, personally instructed by Jake Raby, offered owners a unique opportunity to learn how to care for their engines and vehicles with meticulous detail.

 Matthew, our guest from Australia, is holding the historically significant “first aftermarket IMS bearing” after traveling from the opposite hemisphere to attend the class.

Unlike any other engine builder in the Porsche industry, FSI goes above and beyond to educate and support their owners even after the project is completed. The atmosphere at the class was filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and confidence, as owners left feeling empowered and knowledgeable about their prized possessions.

The bonfire is always a highly anticipated aspect of any of our classes, as it is filled with fellowship and war stories.
