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.

Suggestion
For a bespoke tune, possibly +25-30 bhp (mid-range) gain, although this both costs two to four times as much and may impact on the longevity of the engine (this would be a very highly strung state of tune and would be impacted by any deviation from perfect running conditions - ie this is a "race" tune).
Leading evidence: 'Run conditions - ie this is a "race" tune)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run conditions - ie this is a "race" tune)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi guys i just bought a 996 and am considering a last mod.
Remap + induction kit. My question is which one, if any?
My car is old its A 2003 996 WITH 68k . few people have told me not to bother as its an old car and it will only cause reliablity issues,
I thought id post on here as i value your thoughts - so Lets hear it!
Just joshing...I don't consider that old though.
Still Modern in Porsche terms :thumb:
Re the mods I think the most you would gain from a remap & induction kit is about 15bhp (possibly 20).
Not sure the gain would be that noticeable and maybe not worth what it would cost to have done :dont know:
Induction kits tend to add zero BHP, max out about 2-3BHP and sadly result in -5BHP or more in the worst case.
Plus depending on your method of "induction" tweak you can risk unmetered and unfiltered air entering the engine and hence both overheating the engine (by running too lean) and sucking in debris into the combustion chamber.
I would concienciously search and read as much info as you can on the various induction systems and only make a decision when you know the issues.
DO NOT READ THE MANUFACTURERS OR RESELLERS MARKETING!
As for an NA remap, off the shelf approx +16-19 BHP (Note: this is mid-range maximum gain, not added to the peak power figure).
A more useful gain of approx 17 lbft mid-range torque, which at least improves the "drivability" and responsiveness.
Whether that is worth circa £400, is down to you.
For a bespoke tune, possibly +25-30 bhp (mid-range) gain, although this both costs two to four times as much and may impact on the longevity of the engine (this would be a very highly strung state of tune and would be impacted by any deviation from perfect running conditions - ie this is a "race" tune).
Do a search for remapers and reviews.

Well thats answered that question for me then.... GT4 - where do you get all of your knowledge from?? You really are a Porsche guru.... hats off to ya fella...
I can't really tell, didn't do a before and after.
I don't tend to redline it, so peak power is a foreign country anyway.
The mid range pull is nice and along with an H&S "Oettle" PSE-alike bypass, alot of nice noise.
And to be quite honest, for what at factory spec was a 180 mph car, that's the most accessible and enjoyable upgrade I have done.
