I don't usually shift at 9k rpm however when I was on track in auto pdk sport mode, it shifts at 9k on its own and that's when I had the issue. The only reason I've been shifting at 9k so much recently is to try and recreat the issue, not because of normal driving style.

I as well as my brother (997.2 turbo) have personally had great experiences with Michael and the entire Formula Motorsports team both through service and technical advise given that was spot on. I am one that appreciates excellent customer service and quality work regardless of price. They haven't let me down once in the 3 years that I've been with them and have heard the same from many others that use them.

In manual mode you can shift to 6k rpm in auto mode it will shift at 4K and in either of the modes you don't have full acceleration. It feel like you have the petal pressed 1/4 of the way even if it's mashed to the floor.

Dropped off my car yesterday and just heard back from the dealer. They removed the valve covers, took pictures and sent them to Porsche. They're just waiting to hear back on how they should proceed. I should have more info in the next few days.

I'm amazed the tech originally was only testing it at 7k. It doesn't reproduce unless you take it above 8K. Sucks it's delayed you getting it taken care of. Hopefully they will run through the steps quickly that PCNA wants them to do. Good luck! See if you win the motor lottery.

How many miles? Track miles? What was your normal driving like? When was your car delivered? Did it have any recalls/TSB done to it at all?

Thanks. Another replaced E-engine. I think Macca is correct. All of the E-engines will live a shortened life due to top end oiling issues and DLC coating problems. It gets shorter the harder it is driven. Thanks for the helpful info
