Question 951 upgrades

What do you guys believe are the basic upgrades for big hp?

I may have my 951 built by Promotion but I need a rough estimate of what I'm looking to buy. Everything on the car will be inspected, and if it has any flaws we will re-do everything. So its perfectly maintained. I'm trying to get around 350+rwhp w/o going much into internals for the engine. Maybee basic internals, about 1k worth, but thats pretty much it.

Ok this is what I think, tell me if I'm missing anything:

exhaust
wastegate
injectors
fpr
ebc or mbc
cam?

After this I don't know where and how to spend my money performance wise. I want to buy a Vitesse kit but I want something that will be able to reach my goal and not blow my engine. I also heard the MAF kit was virtually useless. Help me out here guys.

Turbo and a Map or MAF. U will need something to tune it. Even a SMT6 will work

from what i hear EBC will give u better spool up compare to MBC. Also EBC is less hassle on setting certain levels instead of a EBC. Apexi AVCR is a really good EBC

Wait and buy the kit if that is what you want, you will lose your *** or blow the car up doing it the other way. MY knowledge is pretty damn good and even I managed to pick a turbo that is going to be too small for what I want.

how old are you? Weren't you young? I'd like to know where the money comes from.
anyway, going fast is fun and all, but why not consider suspension as part of your upgrades as well?

I'm 19 turning 20 in a couple months, but I own an online business that I started 5 months ago so I've saved that money including my part time work money to have enough to get a nice car. Why are you all into the biography of my life? How did you pay for your 951? Parents pay for it?


I might plan on getting a vitesse stage 2 kit and giving that a try with the basic upgrade mods. Hopefully it turns out for the best.

Wow, don't get offended man! I didn't ask in any negative conotation. I'm glad you'r succesful enough to be able to afford these things. I just wanted to know how.
I payed for the car, my parents did not. thanks for asking. I would be interested in your biography however, as I bet there are some interesting and thrilling stories in it!

It's a online marketing company, combined with a hosting company.

We host different types of web sites and what not. It's ok money, not great, but saving is the key.

Plus, half the money is from my RX-7.

Eyal, well the way you asked the question seemed like you were attacking me so what do you expect me to do? Oh ya, I have too many stories, not that many porsche owners live a crazy *** life as myself.

I'm looking into getting a website for the IC Pipes and other products to come. What is your website address for your company?

If you are in NJ, I would recommend talking to Will at Precision Motorsports or Tony and jeremy at PES in Ivyland PA. PM me and I will give you their numbers. I have personally gotten great help and pricing from PES. My car has not been dyno'd, but everyone who has played with it feels it is making at least 350 at the wheels. And, yes the suspension is part of my upgrades as well.

Eyal, I don't mean to be rude, but how could you ask where someone gets their money?
