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.
6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Great history. Thanks!!
Much better than the last article like that was posted which was a thinly veiled hack at the 996. Interesting to see that the 991 S is as powerful as the 996 TT. It's shocking the amount of power that they can pull out of these little hunks of metal. When they are all crammed up in place I really don't get a feel for how small they are, but I've recently had cause to see a 997 and 996TT motor out of the cars and those things are freakishly small.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Well doesn't surprise me, the turbo probably not the best comparison but the 996 gt3 as a NA engine produced 380 hp as a 3.6l, they got 415 eventually out of it and the new 9A1 engine is DFI which increased the hp by at least 10% where as a 3.8l non DFI mezger was able to get 450 hp out of it. They are only up to 430 hp where as the boosted 996tt mezger was 415/450 stock and people have been pushing it to 600-1000 hp with no issues.
Very nice. Thanks for the share!
