Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Surely you'd get a similar power-to-weight benefit of only 16bhp by making sure you're not carrying around a load of junk in the boot, only filling the tank half full and going on a diet?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Can anyone give me some feedback on their views on remapping a 996? Are there any remapped 996's out there? I have seen Superchips offering a remap that will give an extra 16 bhp for £390 - is it worth it and are there any other sub £1,000 mods that anyone would recommend? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Once I read the Hartech guide to blown engines I completely dismissed the idea of more power. The liners on the 3.4 are much thinner than the 3.2 and i can only imagine that more power would make this problem more likely to occur - ie. cracks in Lokasil liners... And do you really need 20bhp for the risk of a £5000 bill?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmmm, good point. Would you do anything else instead?

Diet - what are you trying to say? [ ]

POST 6Original post

Revo - do a remap, I have it on mine (albeit a 997). Power gains for yours should be approx 12 -15bhp but they will advance the throttle mapping so the engine is much more responsive so feels quicker as well. Advantage here is that it keeps within Porsche parameters and limits so should, in theory, add marginal additional strain on the engine. As was said to me, if it goes wrong it was going to go wrong any way.
