That exhaust note. Sweet

Love 996!

FSI Stage 1 996.1 here. Hello!

Was it your actual engine they built up or was it one they already had and took yours as a swap out?

Thanks for sharing, literally hoping my 996.1 craps out just so I have a reason for the rebuild!!! Unfortunately I got one of those 996's that just won't die:( How long did it take them to turn it around?

Is the oiling system improved?

Why did they not QC the car first before shipping it to you before you figured out it was a bad MAF? Just seems pretty crappy.

Maybe it is the video angle but it looks your driving position is not the best. I think your arms relative to the steering wheel is very good, the distance from shoulders to steering wheel is spot on. However, your shoulders are way off from the seat and that you are very upright - like Rene Arnoux used to sit in F1. The point is that do you get enough side support to your upper body and can you sit relaxed without tensioning your torso muscles. It could be down to the seat back form also. The Porsche seats are quite a compromise between different size of bodies and you might need a bit more straight seat back instead of it being convex for the lumbar support. Like I said it maybe the video angle but if you have a change to check your driving position with a good race/advanced driving instructor use the opportunity. it can make your driving better - or at least if can make your ability to enjoy driving better. With a N/A-engine the max torque is always directly relative to the engine capacity. So if you go from 3.6 to 4.0 you will get about 10% more torque. And power (W) is simply revs (rads/s) times torque (Nm). At which revs your peak torque and power come is very down to cam timing and tube lengths. And then the ECU-tuning is usually just making the mixture a tad richer. The max power usually comes at lambda 0.83-0.85 which is definitely on the rich and more emissions side. Anyway, 10% gain is something that you will feel. I would not call it night and day but you can definitely feel it. 5% is barely recognizable. Very often the sportier sound makes you believe you have more power but when start using stopwatch you may get a bit disappointed. But then, it is the sensation that counts. Your car is a beauty.

You said "if you have the ability". So... How much we talking here? $?

Damn… sent the car back and it ran rough 😖 That’s a lot of coin to not be perfect

Your driving is shocking. Jerky throttle, poor clutch control and snappy steering inputs. 3 no nos in any 911.
