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.

After following the threads regarding getting more horses out of our Caymans including dropping a 3.8 in it and supercharging it occurred to me that surely the ultimate Croc could be had by dropping a 997 Turbo engine in. Are there any tuners that offer this or is it just technically not possible? Thoughts anyone?
It mates up to a different transmission, different engine mounting points, exhaust routing and manifolds. You're right, it would be an "easy" answer if it just bolted on. I think Porsche already thought of that as the same thing applies to the GT3 power plant. I don't think 997 Turbo engines come particularly cheap anyway. You'd end up with a Cayman that cost more than the 997 turbo and doesn't have 4WD or LSD. I'm sure you could "figure out" a way to put either engine in, but at what cost vs. another equally invasive mod.?
Thanks for the quick response Fadiboy you have put my mind at ease
