  1. Okay... heres the deal! I picked up the part at my Porsche dealer. Part #996 207 012 74. I pulled it out of the box and it has the same part number on it as the old part with even the same green dot. I pulled the part off my car and checked the valve inside. It was closed as it should be and moved freely. I felt the tension and it felt the same as my new part. I looked for signs of wear at the o-ring seal and it looks fine. The part is a pain to remove so since I was there anyway I installed the new part. I dont know if it's made a difference yet as I still have the car down for some mods... K24/18g turbo's, 5 bar fuel pressure regulator, GT2 Intercoolers, ECU upgrade and a spark plug change. I will let you know if there's a difference with the new valve but so far it doesn't look too promising. :huh: Thanks for the replied Rick. I did my oil change yesterday and did like you, remove the valve and it look completely normal to me so I just reinslalled it. Again it is really strange now I don't have the growling because it is cold here. I wonder if all this is not related to oil viscosity...Anyway the new oil is now Mobil 0W40 and only in may I will be able to test it because my car is now hibernating....Thanks for the info, J.P. Hey J.P. You're more then welcome! That's what this site is here for... to help each other out! I'm looking for thicker oil myself. It has to be Mobil 1, but I'm thinking 20W50??? :renntech: It gets HOT here in Oklahoma in the summer over 100 degrees and can last several months so I want a thicker viscosity oil myself.

  3. Thanks Rick I am waiting for your replied, J.P. I talked to my Parts man today at the Porsche dealer and he said if my part is original it doesn't even have a valve inside of it. I'll let you know. :renntech:
  4. Yes, the number listed on my post is the number of the part still on my car (the original part???) and I will replace it with the new part next week. I am changing spark plugs and adding some go fast parts as well. I will check to see it the valve is stuck open after I remove it and let you know. I'm still trying to find out if the part on my car now is the original factory installed part??? :rolleyes:
  5. My 02 is doing the same thing. I crawled under the car today and found a part #996 207 112 2R w/green dot on the valve. I have a new one ordered. Can anyone tell me if this is the original culprit??? :renntech:
  6. What is the best bang for the buck. I already have a fabspeed gen 1 exhaust w/100 cell cats, billet diverter valves, and a fabspeed airbox. When I added the exhaust & airbox I saw my boost jump from .7 to 1.1 with a 1.3 spike. I'm looking to do more mods but I'm hearing something different from each tuner. I'm welcoming ALL opinions :renntech:
