Thank you in advance.

Does the 991 have any problems enginewise like the 997.1 had? (I know about the 991GT3 fire issues and that they are solved)

Is the 997.2 Turbo and 991 Turbo issue free as well? ( I know they are not as strong as the Mezger cars, but would like to hear is they are pretty bulletproff when not tuned)

Suspect it is a bit too new to have any common problems, give it another 2 years or so eh?

The only issue with the DFi engine and indeed any DFI engine is carbon build up in the heads but I am not aware that its a major issue.

Perhaps a top end rebuild may be required at 100k+?

Yes, the 9A1 lump seems much better.
