No PPI?

If it is just a boost leak, it may be as simple as re-attaching the hose and you're done. Have a look under the hood . May just be something simple.

In your other thread you seemed to be in a hurry to buy a car, first between a 997TT and a 996TT, then between 2 996TTs. Since it was the weekend, and you pulled the trigger based on what other members were telling you, it sounds like you didn't get a PPI.

I know you think I was rude in the other thread, but my point was to do what you think is right, not what other people think based on very limited info and zero knowledge of the cars you're looking at. I hope it's something simple for you and you can start enjoying your car soon.

As another member once pointed out, PPI is for prepurchase inspection, not postpurchase.

Good luck - I hope it works out.

What happened to your Turbo W/Tubi and the kw's you hate? Or your Renntech E55?

Maybe I'm confused.

man you should really stop posting in my threads because you always talk**** to soon...

PPI was done... everything checked out perfect, the previous owner even paid for it put a new battery filled up the tank and did a wax.

it's a us car bought in texas , maryland then he did in canada , carfax came back ultra clean.

I think you are just retarded stop being so angry bro... do you even have a porsche? cuz if you did you could easily pick up a girl and have some happiness in your life...

towing coming this morning bringing to shop, if it's fuel pump... previous owner will help me so no problemo!

I need the $ to mod the 996...
That is one hell of a garage. You need to get some pics of all three in the stable together before the E55 goes. I'd love to see the trio.

Thanks, but I'm not in the market, we have enough transport currently.

Happened to me too, kinda. 6 mos after purchase it just died. Fuel pump split a line. Thank goodness for the warranty as it was billed at close to $2,000. Hopefully yours isnt as painful, but even new cars break down. Get her fixed and enjoy all she has to offer.

It's usually not a really huge deal on these cars. Hope you get it back on the road soon.
