Yes, unfortunately the engine issues are real.. You do have to remember how many Boxsters have been built since 1997.

A really indepth article on the history and future of the M96 engine will be covered in the December 2008 edition of Excellence Magazine. It will address many of the questions you need answered.

It also goes over what my company as well as LN Engineering and Hoffman Auto Machine have done to help to better understand the engines, bullet proof them and make them into performance power plants.

It's a good article, make sure you get the mag!

Lots of Boxsters don't fail.. Service the engine at closer intervals than the factory recommends and don't drive the car like an old lady! Engines that are ran hard seldom fail!

I have been TRYING to blow the engine in my test car for almost a year- no luck.
