Silver-996-TT is infamous around these parts
Finally got my dream ride!

All,
I just bought an 02 996TT manual (59k miles), I have never owned a turbo of any kind (i had an 06 Boxster s and and 05 S4 cabrio) difficult to explain how amazing this car is but enough salivating. Is there anything I need to do to keep the car running stronger and avoid problems (beyond the obviuos, cool down the turbos for minute b4 shutting down etc..) do you have any fuel or service reccomendations.

Thanks.

Welcome to the club. I joined a week ago. I have grinned from ear to ear ever since.

It's summed up best by this statement, "I didn't want to go to work today, but I didn't mind driving there!"

Since I do not plan to mod my car right away, I'm not your best adviser.

Just keep it maintained, drive the hell out of it.

Congrats.
