The 996 is a really simple animal for all but the most complex stuff.

A simple metric tool set is about all that's needed to take 90% of the car apart. Make sure you have 19mm wrench and sockets as many sets stop at 18mm

You'll eventually need a 32mm socket for axle nuts
You'll need triple square bits if you take off the flywheel and or flex plate.
a good set of tamper proof torx bits goes a long way.

Open up the engine or transmission and you'll need more specialized tools to set timing and other various tasks.
