Got a Porsche shop to look at it, guy was super nice. I would recommend flat-edge if you're near Savannah or Bluffton.

This is what I was able to write down during a phone-call, and I'm not the most familiar with all thing's "car".

Cam deviation was -8 (no indication as to which bank) for the limited time they could run it. Every tube on the AOS is taped up or replaced with a custom job, there's an aftermarket fuel regulator (I think it was regulator, but I could've remembered what he said wrong), and the oil fill tube is taped together. Lastly, its running super rich, possibly a fuel injector problem. I'll probably have RC Eng clean them up for me, but I'll wait to get the codes from the shop first.

The good news; Fuel pressure was fine!

I'll get a more complete list when I go to actually pick the car up, but basically looks like vacuum leaks to fix (easy, just a lot), an air/ratio issue (maybe related to vacuum?) and a camshaft issue (dear god, why).

So... is the camshaft issue worth the trouble for a car with 150k miles? The interior and paint are in great condition and worth saving, but only up to a certain price...

I read once here that the cam deviation is going to be super out of spec until the car is properly driven and warm. Is this true? And if so, even up to -8?
