Dont mean to hijack your thread, but I say the fan delete is not worth the 2 or 3 dyno HP to risk.

Cleaner, what 3.0 flat 6 Porsche engine are you refering too? They donīt have any 3.0 L engine!!!! they have 2.5L, 2.7L, 3.2L, 3.4L, 3.6L, 3.8L and the ones for the SUVīS the 4.5L V8 atmo and Turbo.
Apart from the GT3 , Turbo and 4.5L engines, all the otherīs are far from reliable, Iīm talking with first hand experience.
Had a blown out engine on my 2.5L Boxster back in 2000, and a blown out engine with my 3.4L 996 Carrera with only 30K miles on the clock in 2003.
There is well known RMS failure problem ever since 1997 in those engines that lead to many blown engine thrue out the years. Only the engine from the GT3 and Turbo which have the base of the old air-cooled engines are the real bullet proof Porsche engines, thatīs why they donīt use the M96/M97 engines that are running in all Carreras and Boxster , on their top of the line model the GT3 and the 911 turbo, those Carrera engine were not made to receive forced induction, they are to weak for that.
