3) The LN price you quote is for case halves that have been sleeved (you send yours in), and comes with the JE pistons and rings. LN had something like a 10 week lead time when I asked, so you need to account for in your build. Yes there are Carillo rods available.

The 6MT is known to be quite durable.

As for the rest of the questions, just keep researching. A few years ago I used to own a turbo Subaru so I enjoyed being able to flash my own ECU. I don't know of anyone doing that for the Porsche. With the Subaru it was possible to get freakish power by using E85 (LOTS of it) which as you understand, was beyond the capacity of the injectors.

I've been hanging out here for about a year and the short version is, no one is doing that stuff to this car.

You'd be money ahead to just buy a 996TT, but it's your wallet.
