I meant no harm, nor directed any negative comment toward you personally. Take my advice, or reject it, as you choose. Makes me no nevermind...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I meant fuel input or whatever.

I think you're being presumptuous when you post something like, "GO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE", as if I haven't ever gotten training or taken courses. Smells like presumption to me.

Btw, what do you guys think of this?

It's a bit late for me since I'm on mile 160 or so...but is there any truth to this?

Hi,

Try Fuel Injector timing, FI duration, Fuel Pressure, Spark Curve, Spark Timing, Spark duration, etc., it's a little more complex than fuel input. The MAPs on the Motronic 7.8 are 500k in size, that's a lot of data and code.

I never said "GO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE" - your words, not mine. I suggested a proper Driving Course as a most effective means of spending your money. If you have already taken quality courses, fine, move on.

So far as the link you post, that is mainly for Motorcycle engines, perhaps car engines (debatable, and not what Porsche advises), but only engines.

The Break-in period allows all the parts - Gears, Synchros, Rotors, Brake Pads, Tires, Wheel Bearings, Ancillary Bearings, Flywheel, Clutch Disc, and such, to develop wear patterns. Following the advice in that article will not accomplish this, but from the sound of it, you already knew that too.

I'm not being presumptuous when a guy comes on here and says he has trouble finding Aftermarket parts for the Boxster. I just input Boxster Aftermarket Parts into Yahoo Search and it came back with 90,700 hits. I didn't have any trouble, or were these not enough for you..?

As I said, take my advice or not. But, don't come here and jab people because they reply to what you posted with some generally accepted proper advice. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Again, you are smug. Apparently you don't understand the reason why people subscribe to this forum, especially since they, as you suggest, can use "Yahoo Search" instead. It's plain silly -- or do you perhaps think that people here don't know how to use a search engine..?

No, I don't understand why you turn arrogant when someone like Bavarian Motorist utilizes this forum for what it's meant for.

The guy in the article said the concept applies to all four stroke engines. I didn't know the other things until you mentioned them, though.

Um thanks. I can google/yahoo that too, that's kind of how I came up with the obd chip for the boxster. It didn't just walk up to me and wink at me. If you actually looked for anything as opposed to just googling/yahooing some words, you'd find that there's virtually NO after market parts for it. Did you bother to check, or was that too much for you? Also keep in mind I am specifically looking to add power. Narrows it down a bit, doesn't it?

Advice is welcomed. I am having trouble seeing how calling me a "newbie" and comparing my thread with other similar "newbie" threads is advice. Maybe because it isn't

Mike,

Here's a good thread regarding break in :

Break-in period

BTW, the link you posted is mentioned and addressed in this thread as well...

Hope this helps, and welcome the the forum !
