New 3.6T owner
Hi, I've just become proud owner of 3.6 turbo. It's in fantastic condition and drives superbly. It is stock except for KW V3 suspension. I'll be happy with it for quite a long time I'm sure but have noticed some threads on the forum reporting much higher power outputs. Just out of interest how are the 430bhp and over upgrades achieved? Thanks in advance - Jim

That's right, In fact I saw the advert on Pistonheads and a few moments of madness later had sold my Cayman S and bought this beast. This car certainly has more character - I love it!

Congratulations Tim!
The car is stunning, is that Maritime Blue? what a rare car with the colour and with it being a 3.6t. Lovely!
Would love an engine bay picture of it!

Welcome to the club! Nice color.
B&B Headers and 1 bar boost spring easily get you to about 400 HP or slightly above. Anything above that requires EFI but that's a slippery slope.

I'll add some more photos at the weekend. I have loads of paperwork and the steering wheel was replaced, I might re-instate that at some point. It is Maritime Blue and the only 3.6T in that colour officially brought into UK - maybe the only RHD one in this colour? Need to get used to it now and have some time at Silverstone next week to try Porsche's low friction circuits which should be safe place to get the back end out and entertaining to see how it compares on the kick plate compared to the Cayman. Thanks for the info about the headers etc.
