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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking at a 2004 turbo X50 and want to get a proper PPI but have no idea what to ask for. I'm hoping someone can chime in with comments on what to have done.

POST 2Original post

Let me see...you've owned four 911s and you're asking rennlist what a thorough PPI should include? Something doesn't ring true here.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup. Never owned a turbo and haven't kept up with 996 stuff. Always nice to ask to cover my *** and make sure everything is covered.

POST 4Original post

Its a standard used car. Treat as such re: paintwork, proper engine running, etc. There is no magic aside from the spoiler and the 2nd gear popout.

POST 5Original post

There is a nice pre purchase checklist available for the 996 TT. Overrev is a simple two level readout from the DME. Replacement of coolant tank in recent past and pinned or welded coolant lines is a positive. See http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...on-thread.html

POST 6Original post

Advice: Ask on the turbo section of this forum. They will be more intimately familiar.

POST 7Original post

OK, call me nosy, but I have to ask......you had a 2010 GT3 which has just slightly under the HP of the 2004 Turbo. The GT3 would have a better handling setup out of the box and the power would be more linear than the Turbo. Let alone the sound it makes it high rpm's. So what made this decision for you? Pete
