Can be had for a tick under $100k. So a few more details have come to hand. Car has 130kms, is a 2002 model and has the x50 option Fraz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 20February, 2019 Report Share Posted 20February, 2019 Quite rare here for a 996TT to have the X50 option. Out of interest, does the X50 consist of only K24's plus larger intercoolers and an improved clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a set of sports seats hmmmm…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add ceramic / bigger brakes and a 2005 build date and a few S badges and you have a turbo S Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraz Posted 1March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 1March, 2019 Ok who bought this, I spotted it in Lilydale yesterday and get the sold notification today. Yes I’m sure it’s the same car, still had the Qld plates on it. I will admit it looks a lot better in person and sounds a treat. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Porsche-911-Turbo-996-Manual-AWD-MY02/SSE-AD-5400089 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing value if it doesn't grenade and if everything was done properly! Mezgers are bullet proof in a gt3 but grenagable in a turbo. Ha ha. So one of top 4 tuners in the mark, with stock rods replaced and if 7 coolant lines preferably welded or pinned as a minimum and a decent clutch that holds more than 890nm and what's the concern with grenaging besides the odd boost pipe leak that throws you into limp mode anyway More likely IO error and or bad tune. eg lazy gear changing in 6th and plenty of boost over stock and stomping on it with stock rods more likely to grenade a mezger. Eg high torque load at low rpm . Who sinks 100k on a stock 996 plus 50k plus in parts and labour and doesnt do things properly. All in the tuner as I see it and that to me is a first sign of cheaping out. That car had a tune from one of the 4 best in business US tuners for a 996tt and you dont sustain 550 plus hp on tap over time if you have cheapened out. Higher boost like close to more than double the factory boost has a way of biting you in the backside if you don't do things properly and those top 4 tuners go about it in a certain way and counsel on bits to make their tunes safe whilst delivering performance. Eg pick your tuner first and your desired goal and parts follow. Bargain indeed for someone. Fraz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg you get 3 of them for that price. Ps theres a 997gt2 with a third less ks and reckon you can get it starting with a 2 number. Whats so special about a x50. Buy a Cobb access port as a diagnostic tool and slip of the menu button and you can accidentally get more power and better drivability than the X50 for $895 usd on a stock one.
