I have. Fabian's guys upgraded my 996 from a 3.4 to a 3.6 Returnless fuel system from the 997 was a show stopper a year ago and kept me away from the 3.8 x51 motor. Maybe they figured it out.

he told me the same. about $5k more for a 3.8 than a 3.6, but the concept (retrofitting mechanical throttle onto 3.6 bottom) is the same
