Thx Lex, that was me, this time last year in fact. And in May, the 15th to be exact, the dealer tech found the “stumble” problem I incurred with the mod and I posted that as well. It was an incorrect wiring connection that caused the stumble. Car was flawless and amazing for 6 HPDEs this past summer and fall. I like the car so much, I decided to stop “beating it up” and bought a Cayman S for a track car. I’ve been spending a lot of time on that forum so missed this thread until now. My son will be 18 next year and will begin tracking the Cayman (manual 6speed too) w me. The C4s cab w X51 is still my baby! Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone.

you can read it all or just skip past a bunch of the back and forth and go to post #132 where randr talks about the post-install pick up and break in guidelines.

Careful - that thread is about the 991.2 powerkit (which doesn't include any changes to engine internals like the 991.1 powerkit - well, unless you consider the turbos to be internal... I think of them as bolt-on)
