Hell no keep European European!

@@christianborck This base model has a fixed ride hight, this suspension is coil-over spring. You’re referring to the pneumatic version. By design the pneumatic suspension will auto lower the vehicle to the lowest setting at highway speeds. The solution is to bring the camber out from -3 to mid -2s. Aggressive negative camber is not necessary for these vehicles, unless you’re going 200 mph. We set our track cars at 3° negative. This is overkill for street cars.

@@patrikstr11 thank you

Jake and I are actually really good friends. This is NOT an M96/96 engine, this is an M1A DFI! Cylinder bore scoring is a broad subject. In the Carolinas, we do not have freezing temperatures, and we do not have the same effects as the vehicles from up north. Best to study up on what can cause bore scoring, including dirty high flow air filters, poor filtration, carbon, ring problems, extended oil change intervals, oil, contamination, leaking fuel injectors, fuel wash, old fuel, extreme cold temperatures, ect. There’s not just one thing that will cause bore scoring, and there are many factors involved. You’re incorrect about mezger engines. Mezger engines for the H2Os were introduced in 2001 for all TURBO / GT2 and GT3 models. The last Turbo model mezger was 2009, and up to 2011 for GT2/GT3. However, continued, on the race GT3 CUP car till the end of 2018. we are a specialized mezger Porsche shop.

Update: The car went back into limp mode after I replaced the old battery. It appears resetting the battery will take it out of limp temporarily, maybe 50-100 miles. I’m pretty sure it’s the gear box sensors at this point which located in the transmission. So, the good thing is you don’t need a new transmission, but the bad part is one will just replace the sensor, they will do the entire gear box.

I heard that this is a super common problems to Panamera or to Cayman and Boxster. It really cost a lot even just to replace the gear sensor​@@therealnewlite

As a mechanic- even i farm it out. I cant fix them. Too many special tools needed, software. And i can rebuild motors - done alot and do all major work. Dive into some auto trans work. But these Porsche pdk are very complicated. With parts being hard to source/have to retrofit aftermarket parts. Compared yo its cousin VW wich has much simpler dual clutch transmissions. Its gunna be expensive. Even a simple range sensor is crazy expensive on these things and requires splitting apart the transmission.

Dude lost me when he said the 911 was a lot better built than a Boxster. Jeff Richardson got a hold of a 981 Boxster to pull apart and compare to a 991 Carerra and the vast majority of the part numbers are coded 991. His video is worth a watch. The cars and engines are assembled on the same production line in the same facility.

You are correct. Everything around it must be built to the same specs, including axles, transmission, which we also do, and big brakes are recommended. Also needs a really really good fire suppression system.

A well-maintained VR6 Cayenne will only have one issue - transfer box. And usually Porsche is fairly willing to exchange it for free or at a significant discount. Also, Sport Design (what you call GTS) package is very rare for VR6 so I encourage you to go for it

Thank you. Suspension is going to be very critical on just about any high-performance vehicle or even a medium-performance vehicle. This really makes a huge difference in handling and characteristics of the suspension and a Pleasant driving experience.
