These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T183130Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys what do you all think of my convertion from 1998 C2 to 996 Turbo ?only porsche parts were used I have not yet done any engine mods

POST 2Original post

Looks like a turbo to me. If you don't mind..How much did you spend in body work?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All together the car cost me with all mods about �44000 which is still nearly �25000 to �30000 cheaper than a good Turbo, Ok it has not got turbo performance (Yet) but what would you have.

POST 6Original post

If you have Bi-Xenon headlights I would like to know what was done to get them to work on a pre 2002 996. Jeff

POST 8Original post

Wow that is an expensive car! There was a high mile Turbo on ebay a couple months ago that went for high 60's.... Your car looks pretty sweet...But for $80K! ....Projects like this are not always about the money believe me I went through it. I enjoy them too.

POST 9Original post

I'm thinking the exact same thing. Please, do tell... Car looks low... what suspension are you running?

POST 10Original post

how about the side intakes?? how was this done. Does the factory turbo side intakes fit a narrowbody 996?

POST 12Original post

For North America, the answer is yes. However, the 996 debuted as a '98 in the ROW.

POST 13Original post

Ahh, thanks Viken I was thinking that because of the 94 993...
