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 1Original post

G'day everyone. I'm new to the forum and have a question regarding reliability and less important driveability of a highly mod'ed car. In particular a 996TT, because that's what I have. It is completely stock, apart from a GT2 wing and tiptronic. I want to modify the car and get more from it, but I am worried about reliability. It is my daily driver and track car about 6 times a year. initially I was going to start with sports headers , billet divertor valves and an ECU flash. I believe just these will lift HP to approx 500. The question is, Will it still be reliable? I know Porsches are lengendary for over-engineering, but how much is too much?? Comments and feedback much appreciated. Loving the cars, mod's, pictures etc.

The Mezger engine has been capable of supporting >700WHP with proper tuning. Stock botton, no internal changes, all bolt on modifications. A simple flash and DVs should not change the reliability of the engine. - bob

I've been down this path as well... if you're looking at around 500 whp, keep the stock headers , they are fine for that hp level. Definitely get DV's and a tune... the car will feel totally different. Add a simple intake and exhaust , IPD plenum and you should be very very happy. The car will be just as reliable and will eat 95% of anything you will see on the street. Once you get into turbo upgrades... things get a bit more fun but will affect daily driveability. Good luck as it's a real fun ride!

May I suggest you consult with one of our sponsors here; i.e. TPC Racing. They are experts in modifying cars and turbo upgrades. Good luck
