Hello everybody,
I have been driving for 6 years an 996 turbo black manual with x 50 , no upgrades, no engine tuning and sold it a few months ago.
so the start for a new car begun, have been looking to a lot of cars, like e 63 amg, m5 , ferrari 430 but end also a 997 gt2.
I had a drive with the 997 gt2 , but couldn't find a deal with the seller of the car.
Yesterday I have bought my new car,it is a 997 turbo convertible from 2009 and has 17500 km, it has everything I wanted (only not the pccb, but that is not a deal braker), it is manual black car.
It has the gt1 engine and the upgraded pcm3, just like I wanted it.
The car is also tuned by Ruf and has the 550 ps kit. So only this is causing me some headache, what do I have to expect from this kit concerning the engine relaibility. Is this a good tune, does it harm the engine, will it brake down the engine. I kow that Ruf is good but please send me some of yours experiences with this tune. I drove the car and it felt fast and no bad sounds in the car. I drov wot and saw 1.0 bar and in sport mode i saw 1.2 . Is this normal.
The car also has past the 111 check from porsche.
Should I stop worrying and enyoing the car?????
I will have it in two long weeks.
Pictures will follow.
Please help me with your experience, because I m not familiar with the engine tuning business.
Thanks

 

Isn't there really someone who can help me?

 

You should be very lucky to have RUF tune in your car( no harm will happen to ur tt). Enjoy in good health. Congratulation on your convertible 997tt . Very good choice

 

Congratulations for your choice! You bought an excellent car. Not only you shouldn't be worried about the RUF kit you should feel lucky! ALL RUF kits are of excellent quality as if the factory (Porsche AG) sold them as AM powerkits. Have you checked the car for any abuse though? This has nothing to do with the powerkit...
Also you should constantly see 1.2 bar at WOT not 1.0....

 

THE car has to past this wednesday à check of THE engine, if not you can't get THE second hand warranty. So i think that i have to wait until THE end of this week.
