New PDK shifter **** from DB Carbon with Carrera White lettering.

I finally had something go right this spring. Today I had a new carbon fiber shift **** from DB Carbon installed along with 2 new APR Diverter Valves. Did oil change, filter, wheel alignment and tire balance as well. My initial impressions
where great. My favorite tech did a great job on the wheel alignment as my car literally stuck to the road as I drove home. Noticed an even improved deeper sound from my Europipe exhaust upon start up and accelerating out of the dealership with the new valves installed.. I had a half hour drive home so I tested the boost pressure and performance to see if there was any noticeable differences.

And I have to say for the few stretches that I was able to push the car when in sport mode she quickly achieved a boost level faster than I had before with the OEM valves. With a quick touch of the pedal, it was very easy to hit 10 PSI, and additionally ascend to
over boost levels towards 15 and 16 PSI with a proclivity and spirited run that I hadn't before . I was ready to test run in Sports Plus mode, but I couldn't go too much further, as I ran into slower traffic, and in an effort to keep things safe, I cut back on the RPM's and cruised home.

But I can definitely say that the APR valves gave me that efficiency of boost and performance that I was looking for. I can't wait until Friday when I have the APR tune for the 2018 TTS file installed, and give an even more in depth report. I'll obviously need more
seat time to give a more objective review. But for now my initial impressions were quite uplifting and positive for the return on my small modification. Until then I will get back to everyone as promised as I evaluate and review the APR tune. I'll make sure I have
enough safe road and time ahead of me to test run in Sport as well as Sport Plus mode. May be I'll even touch that Performance Button to unleash 20 seconds of my personal Le Mans. Who knows, but without question let me reiterate that safety is imperative. I drive Porsche's for their pedigree, performance and efficiency. That's why I do certain modifications. It's not about going fast. You can buy any car that will do that. I drive a Porsche because I fell in love with a Guards Red Turbo when I was as a kid, and today I relive that dream every time I turn that key and hear that flat six rubble to life.

Looks great, can't wait to hear of your experience with APR. I had them on an Audi S7, great product, just hated not having a solution I could load/unload at home.

Sweet Shifter! Had one in my other 991. DB Carbon makes some really awesome stuff that’s high quality! Let us know about the valves, I’m listening...

Looks great! Excited to hear about the APR tune! Your signature says Softronic - are you replacing that tune?

DJ23

No. I had the Softronic Tune on my 997 Turbo which was fantastic by the way. My reason for choosing the APR tune is because of its reviews and research that has
been done making it more specific for the 991.2 TTS. I'll have to update my sig. Thanks for the reminder.

That PDK shifter looks great.

Just took a gander at DB Carbon's site. Talk about a carbon fiber rabbit hole....

Take a look at their Carbon Fiber Wing, I bought it from them and it truly is a piece of art!
