Default *NEW* TPC Racing 991.1 Turbo S Build for Optima Batteries Street Car Invitational



Owner, aerospace engineer, and champion racer Mike Levitas will be piloting our TPC Racing/DSC Sport Porsche 991.1 Turbo S for the Optima Batteries Street Car Invitational of 2018! We stumbled upon this new opportunity back at SEMA a few months back with the idea of showcasing all that we have to offer at TPC Racing and DSC Sport on the track with a street car of our own. We wouldn’t sell our products to the public without the testing and quality control standards that we hold at TPC Racing to this day, so what better way to showcase our products then entering the street car challenge and pushing our capabilities above and beyond to perform.


When the 991 Turbo S was first delivered, we couldn’t help but adore the luxury of the interior with the street cars already aggressive look on 19 inch wheels with carbon ceramic brakes right from the start! Don’t forget the excitement over the forced induction system that will be immediately addressed with larger TPC Racing turbos VGT, TPC Racing intercoolers, TPC Racing tuner and ecu tune, TPC Racing BiMode HiFlo active exhaust, and more inspired from our 680Blitzkrieg turbo package.









The first time we put the 991 Turbo S on the lift, all the fluids were changed, and we took a good look of what we could remove and replace on the entire vehicle. The blueprint for this build was taking off and we had many different ideas of how we could develop the car.





Mike has been driving the 991 Turbo S on the road with the DSC Sport V3 controller with Dual-Mode exhaust control installed and already has been adjusting the calibration file for his driving style. Soon enough, we will be installing the Tractive Suspension damper set to the vehicle to further enhance the suspension setup along with the TPC Racing active sway bar kit, TPC Racing adjustable toe links, TPC Racing full monoball system including control arms and spherical bearings, and more that will be sitting on a set of new Forgeline wheels.



As the parts are coming in, we had an extensive amount of work and challenges ahead to prepare the 991 Turbo S for the season. So far, the TPC Racing GT2RSx carbon fiber body kit arrived that will be outfitted to the car including hood, fenders, quarter panels, deck lid, trunk, wing, front and rear bumper, front aero, and more to start our weight savings.





We are ecstatic for the opportunity to explore this new venture with Mike Levitas and his expertise that has the advantages in our favor! The livery from the 991 cup car will be matched for the livery on the 991 Turbo S after the body panel work has been complete! Be sure to stay tuned for updates and progress on this new program for the 991 Turbo S!

Just had a 45 minute call with Mike at TPC Racing. Incredible wealth of knowledge and experience, now including with the 991 TTS. We are arranging for my car to go in for monoballs, front lower control arms, track alignment, and DSC-V3 box in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, he has a long list of other opportunities to make the car better, but this is a great first step. After that, we are going to do a test/tune event together at VIR in April to check out where we are, so I'm really excited.
