How many 15-16 gt3's have engine replaced?

They can call it "setting overly sensitive algorithm to normal", for example. I really hope they won't do it, but after Dieselgate can we really trust?

I think at some point they will re-write the code to bring misfire messages only when it's a really really bad series of misfires. Every car will get re-flashed on occasion. Maybe this "upgrade" will even be a complimentary for us, with zero cost.
VAG is very good at software coding, as we've got to know last year.

There's no way in hell anybody with engine knowledge would think that level of follower wear is normal. But to be honest, I have zero doubt Porsche would do the above... and they probably did. I think the difference between the 2 levels boils down to a top-end job vs engine replacement. I don't think it'll be beneficial at the end, just like dieselgate.

Thanks for asking mate. Especially as your state has just been through similar. Things are largely back to normal here finally. Tourism is still suffering (probably 35% down but has recovered quite a bit since earlier this year). General economy has also taken a fair hit with GDP down at least 40% last 12 months. Most of the damage is repaired now other than a few bridges and roads which are planned to be sorted out in the next 12 months. PAM was a big one, one of the 5 largest storms in the world on record with 180mph winds sustained and 220mph gusting! It was pretty much a direct hit as well and fairly slow moving so the damage was significant in what is already a developing world nation. Death toll was under 100 but possibly more if indirect effects were taken into account. Due largely to the wonderful generosity of people on this board we managed to rebuild from scratch a number of houses in the local village via our charity fund and also provide medical and food/clothes to many more. A little can goe a long way in these places.
I trust yourself and your family survived the storm without issue. We were down your way in June, a lovely part of the world (made it all the way down to Key West). Reminded me a lot of Vanuatu!
Take care

I have an RS scheduled to be delivered last week of the year. Has Porsche improved engine issues continually or have all improvements stopped with G engines; meaning a sep16 delivered RS is same as a dec16 delivered RS?

We had no damage on Longboat, but our friends from north of Palm Beach to North Carolina really got hit hard.
Happy Motoring!

Quick update
My new engine is back in the car today. Sunset fired it up today and took the car for test drive. I am getting the car first thing on Monday. Please see attached pictures of new engine.
