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.

and you can put one of these, to keep the intake clean (its only for insurance):
Leading evidence: 'Clean (its only' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean (its only' (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.

We run low boost and use the appropriate tuning and injectors to assure this.

The Ruf kit uses thicker head gaskets to lower the CR, icreased longivity.
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.

What would make you think you can't supercharge it? I have done quite a few 99's. Give us a call at the shop if you want to chat about it. [phone removed]
hmmm.... you can do a leakdown test to see if your compression is good.
with that said, i didn't even bother when i had sharkwerks install mine at 78000 miles.
We have supercharged 996's out there with well over 50k miles on the kits themselves (plus the miles that were originally on the car), they are bulletproof. We run low boost and use the appropriate tuning and injectors to assure this. This is in reference to the EVOMS kit by the way.
Sorry, but FI and high compression engines don't mix.......especially those with trouble keeping the oil in (seal problems) as it is. I agree you can sell them, but anybody who thinks there isn't a real risk is delusional.
I stand by the "if you can afford the engine, you can afford the supercharger" stance.
It all depends on how high the compression is to start off with.
With turbo engines, the compression ratio is pretty low and the boost from the turbo is relatively high to make up for this. With a typical bolt-on supercharger like the evo or the tpc, the boost from the supercharger isn't very high because the compression is already high (stock). The fact is, as long as you don't boost it so high that it doesn't start knocking, you are perfectly safe.
The Ruf kit uses thicker head gaskets to lower the CR, icreased longivity. I think the evo kits will folllow suit.
I think, in the properhands, an evo sc install is bulletproof. I just wish I still lived in KS, I'd have stephen do mine in a second. The local place has done a total of one, and full of problems. In the NE might be better off driving to MD and having TPC do it, they just won Daytona for craps sake, they must know what they're doing.
if its old you might want to replace it, stock AOS are fine. Its only 6 psi boost.... and you can put one of these, to keep the intake clean (its only for insurance):
Do it, do it!
Hey Doc, any pre-owned kits out there?
Or how much are the EVOMS kits going for these day?
I almost did my old Audi 2.8 a few years ago, the kits were only about $5k iirc.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
