Do you have K24 turbos? If so you need stronger wastegate springs!

I would like a flash + (your mods here) to gain low end torque..

Cordonaviation - How do you like the 996TT vs. NSX? I'm looking to possible replace my 96 NSX-T for a 996TT.

Care to share your thoughts?

Just had my 90k done, and the car has never had 1 problem, reminds me of my old NSX as far as reliability goes. Ill update when i hit the 100k mark in less than 2 months

100K + miles,

Hopefully, you, and the rest of us, will make it to the same plateau as to this 996 turbo owner:

I'm holding at 87k as I was relocated and now take public trans or walk to work. The weather's been so bad no opportunities to rack up any new miles. Stock, original clutch, too. Hope to join you soon!

I had a NSX and the 996 is a totally different car. Much more potential w/ same reliability... and its nice to have back seats to throw stuff. PM me.
