Thanks for posting. I guess they're not working on updates for the .1's anymore.
I know GIAC is still working on tweaks for the .2's still.

Not much interesting with my TTS lately, minus the blown stock y pipe (I posted pics in the "What did you do to your 991 Turbo Today" thread"
Been in EVOC Driver Instructor two week class all last week. One more week to go. Hope I make it. They have a 60 % Failure rate in this class. We started with 21 and now down to only 10 left after yesterday's Challenge course training.
Couple of practice vids from use driving these old 200K plus mile Clapped out Crown Vics. lolol. We got to test in some slightly better 130+ k mile Chargers.

Very hard to get used to and no, not how I normally drive at all.
They "Claim" it's been taught for years and years (All GA State Troopers taught this way) and due to the UNSURE landscape that happens during police / emergency vehicle operation / chases, Shuffle Steering promotes minimal movements in the wheel keeps the officer from Over correcting during unexpected turns and such.
Once I got used to it, It was surprisingly easy to drive fast. However, I don't see me driving my TTS in the Mountains / Track this way.

That's not the only reason you hand-shuffle.
There's this pesky explosive device in the middle of your steering wheel. If your arms are in front of it and it goes off suddenly for any reason, those arms become ballistic missiles headed directly at your face from short range.
I'm sure you can fill in the rest of the details.

Went on the track for hotlaps with Doc Bundy a few years back, who professionally raced for Porsche and other makes (won Lemans), in a pouring down torrential rain.
He drove a Cayenne Turbo around the Barber Motorsports Park at crazy speeds, 120 mph plus speeds, using around 5 and 8 hand placement with very tiny adjustments made as the car hydroplaned to keep control.....
Never have seen anything like it, but he had unbelievable control in missing wetter parts of the track ever so slightly to keep as much of the tire patches away from puddles of water and to maintain control/speed........we should have spun out that day numerous times.....
Thanks for posting these videos!!

Yes, this is very true! This is the main reason people got away from 10 & 2.
3 & 9 isn't as bad, but 4 & 8 or 5 & 7 are even better in this regard.

It was weird at first but after all week last week and mainly Friday's Test, it became way more normal feeling.
We had to Test out on the Urban Course today. It was make or Break!! This class has a 60% failure rate, so it's challenging to say the least.
Tmrw. we have to practice on the Big Track (as seen in vid 2 from above, WithOUT the cones). We have to do at least a 1:15 lap Counter Clockwise and test out tmrw.
Then do at least a 1:17 lap on Wed. Clockwise. We have to stay in our lane and can NOT touch the yellow or white lines, all while hitting ALL the apex boxes painted on track.
Y'all pray for me. They still lose people on the second week. It would suck to go home without my certificate of Driver Instructor for Emergency Vehicle operation.

I forgot to film the Urban Course from today. Dang.
It was a blast though. LOTS of full throttle and HARD braking, with some low and high speed corning.
Had to do a 2:02 lap to pass. I did a few 1:54's in practice, while still trying top keep it clean. I know I could drop it a few more secs. without the pressure of passing a class.

Big Track practice today. Old warn out Dodge Chargers.
you can absolutely not touch the yellow or the white line and must stay in your lane unless you can see down the road to cross over. You must hit five out of six Apex’s, and the back section is technically able to be used all of the track with speed approaching 105 mph before hard braking.
1:17 is the max time.

Okay, so I posted this on another thread a few days ago, but realized I need to update this thread.
Had a pressure spike due to a WOT in manual mode but forgot I was in manual mode and when it didn't shift automatically, I let off at the rev limiter.
It spiked the boost and I heard a loud "POP". Thank God I was only 2 miles From the house. It drove fine home but with no boost.
I thought I only popped a hose or something. Turns out the Factory Y-pipe SUCKS and will split at the seems. Have a look
Long story short, I've been in a very tough and stressful Emergency Vehicle Driver Instructor class the last two weeks and haven't had time to do anything with it.
I did graduate the class thank Goodness, even though they have a 60% failure rate of this class. We started with 19 people and only graduated 9 people.
Now, I'm trying to decide to just go back to the factory Y-pipe (which I have one enroute, thanks to Sam by Design!! ), or to upgrade to aftermarket (IPD, do88, etc)
If I do upgrade, What brands to use and how far to upgrade??? do88 has the "Big Pack" that'll upgrade my IC's, hoses, and Y-pipe, but no Plenum.
Anybody have recommendation on what I should do and which brands to use? If so, where to get the best deals on said parts?? do88 IC's vs. like CSF IC's or others???
I'd rather have a kit that comes with new shrouds so as not to have to modify / cut my factor shrouds.
Here are the pics of the split factory Y-pipe..
