Read evidence and context
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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
When you get your 996 you can have it modified to 550 HP just by changing the boost inc.
Leading evidence: 'Replace boost inc' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace boost inc' (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.
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.

Friend and I were discussing his 320? hp car versus my wifes 302 hp E500. Of course tons of difference - but we were just discussing the engines. I finished the discussion by reminding him that his was with 6 cylinders and my Wifes car had to do it in 8.
Porsche squeezes quite a few HP's out of a 6. Up and down the ladder. My on order Turbo "S" at 444 hp is still a 6. I'm impressed.
Not a very complex point. I like that Porsche squeezes a lot of HP out of a 6. BMW is pumping 500HP out of their new 10. I don't know if the BMW can be modded much - Dinan will tell us soon. But yes, Porsches and others can be further modded for much more.
Still, not a complex point.
:-) no worries...
It is very admirable that smaller engines can hang with the big boys, you are right. But a V8 sedan is not really all that great of a comparison to your 996. I bet that sedan has more torque too.
When you get your 996 you can have it modified to 550 HP just by changing the boost inc. air/fuel ratio. Bigger turbos and you can go even higher (in the new "Excellence" magazine they have a comparisson between modified TT, Evolution Motorsport's TT has 830 HP).
I think specific Hp (ie, HP per litre) is more of an indicator than HP/cylinder. HTe Ferrari and BMW M cars generally squeeze more NA HP/litre out of thier cars. BUT, peak HP isn't the whole story - as you can achieve big HP by designing an engine that can rev to 8000+ rpm (HP = TQ x revs, after all).
I prefer the smoother TQ & power delivery across a broad rev range that the P-cars produce.
I was just thinking about that. BMW Talks about hitting the 100 hp per liter mark with the new 10 cylinder engine - 5.0. But is has approx. 383 ft lb of torque. The Turbo "S" has 444 hp and 457 ft lb torque or somewhere close in some power curve? The 3.6 liter engine hits approx. 123 hp per liter. Can we make the same comparison with torque? BMW would equal 76 ft lb per liter and the Turbo "S" would equal 126?? Nearly double?
whe you talk about HP per Liter, it is usually referring to Naturally Aspirated cars
cars with forced induction don't count.
PS. the GT3 MK2 engine makes 106 hp per liter, about about 77ft/lb of torque per liter.
