Why don’t you contact Matt and have a look at his close up. It’s not too far if you’re London way.

Thought so. But sometimes you get people posting on the C5 forum looking for info on the C6. They are great cars. But I fear you might be disappointed coming from a V10 R8 in terms of face-melting performance. They’re still quick, obviously. But not in the brutal way the R8 V10 is. I personally have...

Did you mean C5?

Sounds like the pump is failing. You could check the fluid level and maybe flush to see if there's evidence of swarf.

There's hope for the rest of us then!

GLWS, Matt.

Wow, someone will be lucky to get this.

GLWS.

Sorry to see you go.

I bought some Bosch remanufactured MAFs once. They were pretty reasonably priced and everything was new except for the the body.

I would probably replace the MAFs, DV and N75, and all the vac hoses. Belt and braces.

There's nothing that jumps out wildly. Couple of things: Your MAF readings are a bit low. You should be getting close to 200g/s per bank on WOT. Might be tired MAFs. But also, your accelerator position doesn't go to 100% on WOT. Might explain why. Or maybe you've still got a small leak around the MA...

Yup, those are the ones.

That's a pretty encouraging result. Yeah, loose spark plugs would definitely cause issues. Did you order the correct NGK plugs? It's important on this car. The engine load % isn't useful. It can (and often does) go above 100% on a stock map. I don't know what the ECU strategy is for the load so let'...

This is surprisingly cheap, although I don't really follow Porsche prices:

The Boxster of that era is a surprisingly competent car. I've considered one myself, but I'm not a huge fan of the design. It always seems to me that you couldn't tell if they are coming or going. I like the later ones, though (718). I reckon the 996 is one of the best value 911s. Great cars if you ...

Are you sure he wasn’t having a laugh?
