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.

Very clean car ... but going to PPI it on wednesday at Project Nine to confirm its in good shape.
Paid £28k which i think was good value as it will have a new MOT on Monday and 12 months RAC warranty
My first ever porsche..... so excited!!
No bloody way... for now!!
Most powerful car ive had til now is about 260 bhp - so this is a serious step up.
Think ill just enjoy it as it is for now before anything gets changed.

Apparently remap on the x50 improves drivability and power comes well recommended.

Great car OP,
Regarding the X50 its a special edition run out model for the 996 turbo, where does the turbo S fit in the range?
The turbo S was the run out model, with the X50 being available as a factory option from new.

Thanks for that.
Adam b - I'll refrain from late night posts in future....your reply made me realise I'd got it totally wrong....was thinking x50 numbers,mine is standard!!
Mine is running 550 BHP
I've had 2 x standard 6T'S and yes they are plenty quick enough.
Get it mapped and a pipe etc transforms the car to another level.

no problem at all, every PHer has wished this site came with a breathalyser entry test
I've had my turbo s for about 6 months now.
The difference was really just the pccb (porsche ceramic carbon brakes) which would have been a 6k option.
They also only made the turbo s for one year 2005.
Well undervalued cars in my opinion.
