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.

Should be running a proper ECU with switchable maps.
Leading evidence: 'Run proper ecu' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run proper ecu' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Im saying it wont sell on CC. Its a very niche product that requires someone who understands and appreciates the time and effort that went into the build.
Even at £30k (the price of a cheap turbo) I would not be interested. I bet it is a handful to drive - spikey power delivery and rock hard suspension if it's spent all its recent life on track
Looking at the spec its been built properly - never seen that car at any VMAX events though strange I'd be straight up there with that beast. Will murder a 992 turbo s on road and 992 GT3 RS on track in experienced hands that would 8)
I would want gearbox details for that. A proper gearbox is expensive and without a set of straight cut gears I wouldn't expect it to last very long.
Some very nice kit on there though, that is a serious build.

Easy 60-80k spent, its quite a near clone to some of my car
Like you Martin, i see nothing on the gearbox, standard can only take 580-620 before the torque will destroy it ! My box was from Bill Rider in the US with a fresh rebuild, straight gears and chosen ratios etc
Meth/water bottle install is not to nice and the Y pipe looks a little restrictive, i would liek to know mor about the fueling system, retuns, rails etc, we had a lot f difficulties in this area
For any nay sayers, BHP hunters etc, my car is 100% driveable if a little hairy when tempted on boost!
I quite like it but i would wouldn't I! Would like to view it to see the level / quality of the work I wont sell but what a car to enjoy for not much money in rea terms! keep it on boost and not a lot will touch it end of
Maybe a standard 996 box, but he could have put a GT2 box in?
Edit: what's with the 1990's boost controllers? Should be running a proper ECU with switchable maps.
Sounds like he's diffed a standard box.
Double edit: 1200hp at 1.5 bar....??
It's the torque. I tuned my last turbo (997.2) to ~620hp. Quite a light tune compared to some of the monsters out there. The rear end would often break traction hoofing it out of bends.
My 991.1 turbo S feels a lot more stable out the bends with its measly 570hp. I've so far left it stock and it feels more planted than my 997.2. A 1200hp 911 would be awful/scary to leather down the local A roads
It looks like my ideal car. I'd keep it dialled back to 6-700hp and take the cage out and put the rear seats back in and use it for the school run and B road blasts.
I reckon it'll make £50k.
