"a little more hp, and hopefully torque" : how could that be bad?

DrJay

I will be happy with no more torque, but a broadening of the torque curve, like the previous X51 engine.

I think I would side step this and just get a turbo. Hard to feel an 8 percent power boost on the street.

DrJay

Have you driven one?

That "exclusive" label on the air box is cheesy...what is porsche thinking?

kosmo

made for the CHinese mkt , no doubt.

Carrera GT

Cheddar.

As a community service, I volunteer to settle the issue. Wire me money and I will have the conversion done and report back.

No one has driven a 991 turbo outside the factory. But I owned 2 different 997 turbos and they would spank my 2012 991S in a straight line. Does that count? I am sure the 991 turbo will be faster than a 997 turbo. And I am putting my money where my mouth is. I will get one of the first my dealer gets.

I have been modifing HP cars since I was 17 and I have never been able to feel anything less than a 20 percent increase in power on the street. 8 percent on the street is a waste IMHO.

DrJay

Nice try, but you and I both know I was referring directly to a 911 with the power kit...

carcommander

No I didn't know that. But I have modified to that extent 20 or more cars.
Have you?

If you think that's bad...

kosmo

is that the much specualted Flat 8?!!!!

DrJay

I had my 997 C4S retrofitted with the power kit. It was not a night and day difference, but it was noticeable and very evident. DO you have any experience with the power kit from Porsche on a 911?

+100000000000000. that can't be real.
