FWIW, 1999 to 2004 a plain Jane Porsche 911 (996) are around $2,100.00 for
the books, and the turbo has additional supplements. The OBD2 section is
also additional.
A question for those who have been on a protest committee or SEB or
advisory classing committee. Is the OBD2 supplement mandatory? It is a
separate and additional book, and may cover all 996s (Turbo, GT2, GT3, C4S).
