DME Thoughts- 997.1 Turbo
In my quest for a manual 997.1/.2 turbo, I came across a 2007 Arctic Silver Turbo that the previous owner said was pampered. Overall, it is in great cosmetic and mechanical shape. My only issue is in the transport from one dealership to another, the car registered an range 4 over rev. The dealer believes it is a glitch, but I'm not sure. Being so recent, would you have concerns with purchasing the vehicle? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

The car has a Evolution Motorsports – Stage 1 kit (EVOMS EVT550)
• EVOMSit EVT550/570R ECU Calibration – 7000 RPM Rev Limit
• EVOMS Billet Turbocharger Boost Recirculation Valves
Estimated Power: 550 bph
Estimated Torque: 570 lb-ft
Checked faults. Faults stored for low voltage in some
modules. Steering column lock fault stored; lock works
normally so this may be due to low voltage. Fault stored for
outside air blend door, diagnostics required to confirm
validity or cause.
Performed brief visual inspection. Car appears to be in
good shape. Front and rear brake rotors are grooved. Pads
are good.
Test drove car. Car feels like it has EVOMSit tune. Timing
and boost pull noted from 4500-6000rpm, diagnostics
needed to confirm reason. Overall car drives well.

Personally I wouldn't be concerned about two cycles in range 4, even having just happened. With only two counts, it barely entered the range, so although range 4 is from 7400-7900RPM, it couldn't have gotten much higher than 7400.

Agree with Nate. Common wisdom is "wait [arbitrary number] hours" but those revs are so small that range 4 is probably a glitch anyway, and 99 range 3s is practically nothing, too.
