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.

Looked into maybe fitting one at the next oil change. Pretty sure that Porscheshop sell it for £280 inc vat so he's a bit out on his pricing I think?!?

Wow, yeah.... just checked.... He's dreaming a bit with that price then... I was just talking about these the other day with marky911, I was going to look in to it then this just came up... To be honest, i did think they were more around the £500 mark... Not sure why.... Oh well, guess its not any good to anyone :floor: Thanks mate, i know where to go for one now if needed :thumb:

When I was looking into it I think the problem lies with the x51 kit having some modified oil pump or return?!? Long story short I don't think fitting one alone makes a world of difference you need all the component parts to get the benefit. I was only looking at them because I'm like a magpie and like new shiny things and thought a new sump would give an opportunity get rid of any build ups or deposits in the old one.

Pretty sure there less than that from dealers.

Checked the part number he has supplied and this is the one he must be going off https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod...t-Porsche-996--997---Boxster-986-987--Cayman/

I don't corner hard enough to warrant one on the road but I like the idea of the extra half litre of oil capacity. My Indy said they stick down quite a bit further though so seems a pointless risk. After a bit of poking about on Renlist they do seem deep. Jon that's useful to know regarding the requirement of other parts to make it worthwhile. :thumb: I'll scratch it off the list. I like scratching things off the list as it saves money. Unfortunately I don't do it often enough. :grin: The only other item I think I've decided against in the last 2 years was the under drive pulley, after realising it obviously slows the waterpump down too. Oh well....

I'm sure someone will have the definitive and technical answer but basically the x51 heads are different as I understand it, you need these or do some machining in order that oil is returned quickly/efficiently ?!? You do as you say get a bit more capacity and they're shiny!! The other thing is I think the x51 and x74 cars came with sump guards?!? Again I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong but it will sit lower so I think they did have a guard to them. The x74 has the lower suspension anyhow

The first one looks standard depth with baffles, the second one looks to be deeper with baffles?
