Over-Rev report from PPI / insight needed
Just had a 996 Turbo that I am interested in complete PPI. The computer check showed the following:
Number of ignitions range 1: 65,535 / 2899h (revs at limiter 6750-7250)
Number of ignitions range 2: 1,079 / 2443.8h (revs above limiter / 7250 & up)
Operations hours counter: 2,900.1
Miles ~58k
What say the hive? Not sure how to react to these numbers. Slowly walk away? Perform leak-down test?
Another concern is that the rear driver side (cross member?) has been replaced, along with re-sprayed panels, indicating that the car was in an accident at some point in its life (doesn't show up on carfax).
Car is an 01 911 TT with 58k in otherwise 'good' condition. Seller asking $36k.

Sounds like the car had a ton of type 2 over revs early on. It shows that it hasn't had any for 2443.8 hours of operation. I would think that if you had issues, they would have already cropped up, granted, that is a ton of over revs. I'd walk personally.

I am leaning towards it, especially in light of the repair work. However, if I am reading the chart right, I think it is saying the last Type 2 overrev was at hour 2443.8 (with 2900.1 total hours on the counter).

overrevs happen most often during test drives. personally i dont like the notion of undisclosed accidents requiring paint and is that a "b"pillar?
nah, too many cars to be had. i'd walk too.

Is the car tuned, as that would explain the high range 2's? The Rev range 1 is extremely high. Sounds like this has been a track car. Also the operating hours seem a tad on the high side for the mileage.

It has an evolution motorsports intake and exhaust, but no chip (to my knowledge).
Interesting comments on the hours vs. miles. Did the maths and it nets out at an average MPH of 20.17. Seems rather low to me. Wonder what the deal is there?

Found a pic of it, 'side section' that bolts into the cross member. Control arms / etc mount onto it.

Sounds like a good inspection, tech seems like he went over the car well. If your looking for a cheaper turbo and the tech can honestly say it's a good value then I would entertain an offer. Otherwise I'd walk away and look for an accident free car.

I thrash the hell out of my cars and have about 800 range 2's and only a few thousand range 1.
I also had a BMW that I crashed twice... rooted the front end and neither showed up on carfax or the autocheck thingy

Under the car, there is a cross-member near the lower control arms (there is one on each side, I'm probably not getting the part name correct). This one has been replaced, tech suspects that the rear wheel area took a heavy hit from something.

it really doesnt take much for the car to need to be put back into whack?! on a cellete bench. but you don't need this... but the car might?

So the number of type 1 overrevs is 65535? Either it's a lot more than that since the counter is maxed out (unsigned 16-bit binary), and/or it is a faulty reading. Also interesting that the last type 1 happened in the car's last hour of driving.

Type 1 is when the car is brought to redline. 1 hour is reasonable considering that it is being test driven?
