With due apologies for being a noob, I did a search but did not find what I was looking for.

Questions:

1.) Stock cylinder PSI for 01 996tt. Having a PPI with compression check done on a high mileage car, but want to confirm what the readings should be.

2.) Recommended engine & tranny rebuilders in the Midwest area (Ohio being ideal) As I plan on rebuilding sooner rather than later. I have a well equipped shop and am a decent shade tree. But zero experience with flat six turbo engines.

3.) Best shop manuals? Must have tools? Other recommendations?

Thanks for any guidance.

rebuild it when/if it breaks. Plenty of high mileage cars going strong. Good luck.

I get what your saying, but this is a very high HP car with high miles. I'd rather be proactive than be doing a track day or weekend getaway and have it let go.

If I do it on my schedule, then I can plan to have it done over the winter when I'm not driving it anyway and have it ready for the season.

Bach. Check out Bilt Racing. They have a great reputation.

how high is very high? if its a built motor when was it done? who did the build? what parts were used?

I'll check out Bilt Racing, thanks!

All bolt on as far as I know, Evoms GT700. So 702hp/693tq is what's advertised.

You're in luck if you need a transmission rebuild since you have one of the best in Athens, Brian Copans:

Check it out and drive it some before you set a new record for early onset Porschanoia. A trans and engine rebuild can be as expensive as an entire 996t .

Thanks for the recommendation. I have an idea about the costs involved, calculated into my budget along with purchase price.

While I'm a 996tt noob, for clarity's sake, I have had many sports cars (including a 951), have rebuilt a few engines, done an engine swap (another story) done a lot of auto x and a little track time.

My plan for the car is a fun driver and DE's/track days. So I'll drive it for awhile of course, but extensive mods/high miles/hard driving = overhaul in my experience.

Plus it's an chance to get to know the car as I'll drop and install myself, go through things to nut and bolt, clean, etc. Its a 16yr old car, I'm not taking it on a track without going through it.

So no one knows the what the stock cylinder psi is?
