CPU; so what exactly did you pay for the motor? And, it's not a TT but a GT2 motor......sounds like Kevin really helped you out.

 

The car was just making a terrible noise. I could have drove it till it failed. Of course that may have made the core total junk. New MSRP with no core was $27k.

Well with out going in to details. I bought a brand new GT2/X50 motor from porsche. I opted not to do a core and sold my old motor which was low mileage in good working order to Kevin. He also allowed me to keep my old turbos and sell my new K24's. This helped me finance my new motor and clutch kit.

The actual total for motor/clutch/labor/fluids was $16,775.00. The sad part is the only thing I realy got for $17k was a new clutch/flywheel/ulcer

Yeah I really wish Porsche would have done something. Maybe a couple free car washes. I just think next time I buy a car I will let my wallet decide who my next car will be from. All my fight at this point is worn out.

Can anyone give me the contact info on Kevin at UMW I have a motor issue.

 

Google is your friend

 

Never dreamed three lets would find a company 2000 miles away. That's just amazing. Exchanged emails already.

 

Talk about a blast from the past,thread is 6 years old.

I wonder how the car is doing now.

 

Hope he is around and can give us an update.

 

When I read this thread, I said Holly @#$#, I should look into one of those ads I am always seeing about proactive IMS bearing failure fixes.

For others who thought this and didn't look it up, according to the supplier http://www.imsretrofit.com/ it does NOT apply to our cars. Yay!

"All model year 1997-2008 Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models can suffer from IMS failures, with exception of Turbo, GT2, or GT3 models."

 

Funny that you have all those parts on your car and you didn't know this

 

holy thread revival batman!

 

Just proves someone ACTUALLY used the search function. Props to them I say...
