    Most US cars have Porsche's Telephone Prep. There should be both switched and unswitched on that connector (under the passenger seat I think).

    It's hard to say. Some cars owners idle more than others, heavy traffic areas mean less miles more hours, etc., etc. The engine hours "should" be reset when changing the engine - but I do not think that always happens. Porsche doesn't quote TBO for their street cars only their race cars (which is usually 50 operating hours). We have already seen many early Boxster go well over 150,000 miles without a rebuild.

    I have yet to see any Porsche without some type 1 over revs. Type 1 are the safe over revs - they were controlled by the rev limiter. As said here before we suspect that the actual count is "ignitions" - so in one crankshaft revolution there would be 6 ignitions. I would not worry about any type 1 over revs when buying a used Porsche just type 2.
  4. Loren
    From the Duarmetric website... You can plot any actual readings.
  5. Loren
    Yes, most likely. Please do a search as cluster bulb replacement has been covered many times.

    US = US/Canada spec car RoW = Rest of the World

    I agree with Nick - you want to order things that are hard (or impossible) to add afterwards. The exception I would make to Nick's list is the Aerokit. If you have ever seen a factory installed aerokit along side an after market install (even using Porsche parts) - the factory Aerokit is always much tighter and looks to be part of the car rather than an addon. Just my 2 cents...

    :welcome: I think it would be helpful if you told us what country and state/province.
  9. Loren
    If your factory alarm beeps when you set it that means you have one or more zones open - it is a fault.
  10. Loren
    So, if all the gears are the same. Is TechArt just running that 997 way over factory redline? How else could it be that much faster on the top end? I suspect TechArt has done much more than an X50 package.
  11. Loren
    X50 is an engine upgrade/modification only. It has nothing to do with the suspension or transmission.

    Perhaps what you do not realize is that Sunset has little choice for local purchases. There are competing dealers in their local area and if they give too big a discount those dealers complain to PCNA. PCNA then complains to Sunset. When you are part of a manufacturers dealer network you have to play by the manufacturers rules (and Porsche has a ton of them). The reason people outside of their local area can get a discount is because that is "any body's market" (as defines by Porsche AG).

    Model and year of your car please? ... and US or ROW?

    993.615.115.00 about $18 retail - check with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for a better price.
  16. Loren
    One of the connections must be bad. You can jumper each one until the light goes out to find out which one(s) are the problem.
  17. Loren
    I think you only need that for keys or alarms not DME programming. If you can provided proof of ownership there is no reason they should not supply you with it.
  18. Loren
    Then one of your sensors is not likely completely plugged in.
  19. Loren
    Just a word to the wise - there are some "electronic" options on the newer car that Porsche has locked down with access codes. So anyone with a PIWIS may not be able to just turn on a function. Instead they would need to contact Porsche (showing proof of payment) and then getting the access code to turn the function on. I know this is true on the Cayenne Compass option.

    If you wan the Porsche one - it is in a TSB. Tool Pants (et al) did a DVD that covers the whole thing too. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=18034

    Porsche Battery - $194.39 (retail) Autozone Duralast - about $69. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=14446

    Please do a search here - it's been covered many times.

    If it were my car I would start by removing and cleaning the throttle body. I've seen several egas Boxsters that idle poorly and 98.0% of the time it has been a dirty throttle body.
  24. Loren
    Is this a US car? Where are you located?
  25. Loren
    Not really - like the quote says that pump runs for a max of 179 seconds (just under 3 minutes). These engines are already putting outs lots of HP/liter as it is. (IMHO) With late model Porsche's there is not much to be gained with mods. If you want a lot more power you move up to a GT3 or TT. The TT responds pretty well to specific mods - but then you have to ask yourself if you really need 750-800 HP (and can handle it).
