    to we aircooled guys...that does not look like a porsche motor! of course i am joking.

    what is familiar to me is how well you folks do in documenting so many of the repairs and restos you all do. great work guys!!

    What do you mean by burst pipe? Did the pipe have a leak or did it disconnect from the cast part?

    The pipe simply comes out. Some have welded them so they don't fail.

    is that a fairly common problem? Does it affect 997s too?

    I was reading on 6speedonline that this is particular to the GT1 engine derivatives - Turbo/GT2/GT3 - particularly the cars that get tracked. It affects 996s and 997s.

    Fairly common problem and I am pretty sure the racers weld the pressed in tube to prevent a repeat, if both parts are aluminum (I think they are). If possible, I'd have welded this one and IMO this is a rare example of poor engineering by Porsche.
