So the ramp up from 3000rpm to 4000rpm is a hell of a ramp, exactly what your talking about. Press Gas, Nothing... nothing... nothing... then holy $hit!!!

Is the boxster engine really that brittle? Seriously? RMS failure is no big deal, it's a seal so what. There are been some sleeves go in a few earlier cars yes, but most of those should be gone by now. Is there really that many other failures? I flog my car quite regurarly and have no problems, maybe I'm just lucky or they havn't shown up yet.
Hi,

Yep, that's it. My issue has always been in Tracking the Car, for the Strip it's all good, but come on boost at the Apex in Turn 3 and you could be piloting through the Rearview Mirror...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
