In light of the "controversy" regarding the so-called "integrated dry sump" of the 996s and its inferiority to a true dry sump, why hasn't an aftermarket tuner developed a true dry sump retrofit kit? I mean, it would be possible, woudn't it? If not, why not? What am I missing?

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.

Yes, it's possible. And...Porsche motorsports has. And that = $$$$$$ (of course). ...and it requires machining of the valve / head covers. I am currently researching an Accusump system in addition to the Brey Krause pan upgrade. This should effectively eleminate any problems that Porsche created by not utilizing a true dry sump system. Oh..BTW- there is NEVER a dumb question. Those who do not ask are the ones lacking... Chad
Chad, Please keep us posted with the results of your research regarding the Accusump. Did you actually get any part numbers/prices for the Porsche motorsports option? TD
Yep...$$$$$$$$$ That is all I am saying. If you have a 3.6L you don't really need to worry about it. I believe the issue was resolved. If you have a PET and repair manual, you can look up the parts needed and see what's involved. Let's just say...it's VERY involved. Also note that the oil upgrade is standard when you get the Powerkit for the 3.4L engine. I'll try to post the installation PDF's tonight. Chad
