Porsche Engine numbers deciphered.No Enigma Machine required

Bob ,
I have your info but also a recommendation.

1. JFP is the best adviser we have here.He is not a concierge even though he speaks French. He is an oracle. He is extraordinarily generous with his time and advice - even to the newest and most inept. His advice is totally reliable and priceless. Just read some of his lengthy posts on extricating hapless souls fumbling with IMS issues. So if he asks you a question to help you, your sarcasm marks you out as unworthy of future help. I'll offer you an olive branch.
2. Your engine number :
a simple Google search provides this in milliseconds:

3.If your question is about IMS , the engine number does not help in some years,nor the VIN. And your interior photo from 2008 is irrelevant bandwidth.If the IMS is one of the many retrofits then neither y.o.m. nor engine number may be relevant.
4. So as JFP kindly asks - what are you trying to learn ? Then we can help you because engine numbers are unreliable because Porsche kept unreliable records.
