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.

i believe so...not recommending anyone buy off ebay (hell i don't think i would..especially since he doesn't seem to take paypal/visa)...
but thikn about it: the 996TT motor is a direct drop in (especially if you have E-Gas) and ive seen used motors/tranny combos for as low as 20-25 grand canadian. add an aftermarket ECU and stuff and you're looking at what ? 30 g's?
chip it, exhaust get the motor upto like 550-600HP in a really lightweight, and RWD C2, and you'd have a bullit!
I have a motor from an 2003 car with less than 5K miles on it. Has the wiring harness and only needs a DME. If someone is seriously considering to install this motror in their NA 996, I will step up and help out with the project.
Remember, you have to change the tranny as well.
Theo
Not really. It depends on who is doing the install and what kind of experience they have with " special " Porsche projects. When the ground work is well planned, i.e. all parts for install, additional modifications to car, it doesn't turn out so bad.
Theo
your not trading in your wife when you want bigger....skinnier you know whats??? Are you??? So if your baby needs a bigger engine....more power...you give it that!!
Ofcourse I am being sarcastic...I would trade mine in and put the money in a TT.....doesn't the turbo also has different shocks?? and other TT specific parts and setups??
^ shocks and whatnot can be adapted (revalved pss9's) and ubermensch, if i can sell my car and parts for 60 something grand, i will put a diposit on the GT3 RS or a 996GT2. i really really don't fell like going to a 4WD.
But for those who have bought a 996 C2 for cheap enuff, a turbo engine swap may be a cost effective and crazy project worth doing.
^ serious projects are usually undertaken when resale isn't an isssue, when its a car you're going to keep till the wheels fall off, pass on to your kids, or refresh and beat on it again
