The no custom is one of the reasons my 718 CGTS is still on the stock tune.

Peter,

You aren't that far away from us in West Palm. We can dial your 718 in on the dyno for you if you'd like!

+1 on this - Mustang dyno's typically read much lower than a Dynojet.

Hydra,
what turbos are you guys recommending for these 3.0’s?

Has anyone heard anything about rods being manufactured yet or even custom made?

For the 991.2 Carreras and 718s, we do have to open the ECU initially in order to patch it to make it compatible with our handheld unit. Once that is done, you can utilize the handheld from there on out.

As far as turbo upgrades - we've looked into a handful of different companies supplying a larger turbo option but still haven't selected which one we feel most comfortable with as far as quality, reliability and within a reasonable time-frame.

I personally have not heard of anyone making upgraded rods for the 3.0L's..

any news a month later on recommended turbos to upgrade to? I’m close to pulling trigger on a custom A30 setup. Pure is a week out, Tial is a Xona cartridge inside stock frame, no other options.
