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.

Anyway, I'm kinda new to the Porsche scene, is there any good buyers guides I can follow as I'm viewing one in the morning
Cheers

I would check the condition of the Turbo's, Im helping a mate change his on a 2001 as one of them developed a hole shortly after he purchased it. OPC wanted large amounts of cash for 2 new Turbo's + fitting!! KArl
Ross! Our buyer's checklist will cover many of the normal checks on the 996, but pay attention to Gordon and Karl's comments about the Turbo. https://www.porscheclubgb.com/legacy/clientftp/Register/996/tec_buyers_checklist.pdf
Cheers guys... Well it would appear my version of 'mint' is totally different to others. 😟 At least it gave me some experience of looking around one
A pair of refurbished Turbos are a £1000 to £1500 plus 6 hours fitting and probably some ancillary parts. Try AET Turbos. I've only come across one turbo so far with a hole it tends to sound like an exhaust blow and the Turbos "whooooosh" more due to taking in more air.
Turbo Technics up in Northampton are excellent too - they can rebuild/recondition at a very competitive price if it is feasible, usually with about one weeks turnaround. However(!) you usually have to get the turbos off first....
