That issue was due to the fact that they were using standard dino oil for the duration of the "included service" at too high of a maintenance interval. They had to change over to synthetic due to sludge issues. Once they started using synthetic I don't recall it being an issue. So I don't see the engine design as the fault in this case.
I was a Porsche tech at a Porsche/Audi dealer during part of that time and saw them come in every day. It was very interesting to see how bad some of these engines were sludged up.

Motorwerks so far seems to be vaporware at this point, aside from their photo cars...
can't get a response from them about anything, and it's not just me inquiring...
really, really want this to work and be an easily-doable/viable swap kit.
maybe they aren't the ones to make it happen?

I have been told they are concentrating on full builds right now, so if you want one of their conversions you need to to go whole hog. Hopefully at some point in the not so distant future they release the components so some of us can do the swap in our own garages.

ive heard that as well, and asked them about it, and have yet to receive any response at all...
maybe they just have an instagram guy and a wrench guy so nobody answers inquiries...
i've learned (or just decided) that if i can't get a response within a week, somebody REALLY doesn't want my money.

I invite you to check out one of our customer's YouTube accounts. Here's the most recent footage before we did some other work to the car over the winter. Car is the BOSS 924 Carrera GT from our website, with the new 1.8T engine. https://youtu.be/NOsAWDSMLM0
For those asking, we are only doing in-house builds.
P.S. The vaporware makes it faster ... oh wait, that's just the meth injection.
