  1. First, please tell us details of your car (MY, model, any mods, etc.).  Then I suggest you get the codes read using either Durametric or one of the Porsche diagnostic tools.  There are many possible events that could cause these symptoms from bad ground strap to immobilizer went bad.  Start with the codes.

  2. Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1& 2 Above Limit

     

    Possible fault cause

    ♦ Incorrect signal from MAF sensor

    ♦ Intake air system leaking

    ♦ Fuel pressure too low

    ♦ Volume supply of fuel pump too low

    ♦ Fuel injectors fouled

    ♦ PCV valve leaks

    ♦ Cap of oil filler neck not closed correctly or seal is damaged

     

    Cleaning the MAF may or may not work.  You can try running without the MAF (though this will throw other codes) to see if it comes back.  O2 sensors could be bad or there could be connection problems (though not sure why both went at the same time?). Check your fuel pressure. Exhaust system leaks.  Fuel injectors fouled.  When was your last service and what was done?

  3. No not a fuel pressure test, but the entire sealed boost pressure test for leaks.  like this, though there are simpler ones.

    996 Turbo Forum - Boost pressure leak testing, simplified... - Boost pressure testing on our turbos is pretty critical to maintaining performance. Not uncommon at all to have some small and medium size leaks and not know it. It won't throw a CEL, and you'll often still...

    You definitely should replace plugs and coils.  Get the upgraded 997 coils.

  4. After you get the appropriate codes, there is a grocery list of things to check.  Typically, coils and plugs are the culprits, but since you just had them changed...make sure they were installed correctly and gapped correctly....swap out the ones that are misfiring with ones that aren't?...Did you do a pressure check?  Wastegate, N75 Valve....

  5. Of course it's your call.  You might be able to find a used stock intake on ebay or somewhere.  I thought the BMC filter is also lightly oiled.  I can't speak for you, but if it were me, I'd get rid of whatever the heck you have in there.  Two issues with the MAF...potential oil contaminating the MAF or turbulent airflow.  I have used a BMC filter for 15 years with no issues.

    What will happen if MAF problem occurs pls?

    Yes, typically there will be codes.  Sometimes these appear as ABS/PSM codes....but sometimes the car just runs poorly.  In any case you should have the codes read on your car with  Porsche specific code reader (e.g., Durametric, PST2, PIWIS).  Those circular filters tend to disrupt airflow over the MAF causing voltage spikes in the MAF.  Sometimes killing the MAF or sending strange signals to the ECU.

    Ya im sure thats not the stock airbox. Its an aftermarket one with k&n filter... as long as the y pipe is stock, then its pretty simple that i get the original airbox and fit it in ? Thank you

    I don't know how simple it is...not sure what was ripped out to put that monstrosity of an air box in.  I'm kind of surprised you haven't been having MAF problems.

  8. Lookin' good!!  Watch that front lip...you'll likely hit that a few times to start.  For me upgrading was a personal thing.  I enjoyed reading and talking to guys that know their stuff (Kevin, Kevin, Mark, etc.) and from there made a progression of upgrades.  Oh yeah, a triple black cab.  Enjoy and drive safe.

    I could be interested. What about ride height? How much did you lose? In the end it's the equivalent to M030 or IX73 suspension, right?

     

    In terms of ride height, realize stock heights vary depending on US vs. ROW.

    Front (target mm):  US = 158, ROW=138, X73=128

    Rear: US=163, ROW=153, X73=133

     

    The Euro version PSS9's I had installed (due to stiffer springs because I have a Cab) dropped the front 22mm and the rear 20mm...of course this is from US spec heights.  You could probably lower it more, though I have read about issues with trying to go GT2 height.

    The ride is significantly better in every way IMHO.
