Suggestion

When the 3.0 turbo made its debut in 2016 there wasn’t a lot of love, but at the time I remember saying to a SE whilst test driving one that the first turbo road car in the 70s was a 3.0turbo so what’s not to like!

Suggestion · Original poster

I thought I read that Porsche planned to use the 4.0 n/an engine in the boxster/Caymen in 992.2 but if the GTS is 3.6 turbo I can’t see what other derivative would the use it in?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

Perhaps in a more expensive than current 992.2 T variant? I’ve had the 4L in a gt4, I’ve now got the 3.0TT in a 992. The 3.0 is an astonishing engine and makes a lovely noise with more torque lower down. Bit of reverse psychology taking place here, turbo was and in Porsche speak generally an upgrade.

I agree; brilliant engine. Not without its problems mind...

But yes, there have been some turbo failures and no doubt some other issues too. So far, mine is behaving. I think it’s a great engine: responsive and lots of performance from low down. Surprisingly economical too. I think that problems are pretty rare.
