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.

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

POST 1Original post

Difficult. The cost of the upgrade will be considerable, and the price of an S therefore similar in the long run. But please don't take my word for it - have a good look round! Can you get hold of 'Porsche Post' - the Porsche Club GB magazine? A number of firms worth contacting advertise there. Better still, '911 & Porsche World': www.chp.ltd.uk Although probably the most expensive, a good starting point (at least to get a reaction) would be: www.jzmachtech.com Edited by McNab on Wednesday 5th December 20:42

POST 2Original post

I am getting some work done on my 996 lowering, engine upgrade etc... by Par Racing in the Guildford area, I suggest that you speak to Paul who knows his stuff and is very helpful. 01342-892911 Good luck...

POST 3Original post

i put a fabspeed exhaust and air filter on my 996 and it gives it a fair bit more oomph and lots better sound! Mine came with the engine upgrade and sports chassis so i am not going to piss about with either as both are beyond criticsm - i have done it in the past but a £500 set of springs will not have been calibrated to work with the dampers, and will worsen the cars dynamics. Even a more expensive suspension kit will be a compromise unless it is serously expensive to cover the development and testing needed I do want a GT3 kit though!! Benno

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone uprated the engine performance of the standard Boxster (not the S) and what did they do and what extra did it give. I know that the easier option is to buy an 'S' but that is not always possible. What was the performace gain, what was involved and who did it (UK only)? Cheers Chris
