@Charles@M Can you/do you limit boost by gear?

We can set you up with a "base map" to get you driving to the dyno.
We have boost-by-gear available for our McLaren platform, but not on 992. Sorry!

Looking to see, has anyone done the pure turbos with a MT?
weary as I have the stage 3 now, car runs great and I have the turbos but still on the fence on installing. Car runs great now with zero issues.
hate to get bump in power and the clutch can’t hold.

Last stupid question as I can’t find a how to on the web.
are the turbos replaced from underneath (like the cats) or is it a bumper of and a strip down ?
this will help with my mod route as to what to take to bits when. 👍🏻

You *maybe* could do it underneath but would hate your life. Just take the bumper off, its more tedious than hard and will end up saving time in the long run

Porsche designed these cars intentionally to be worked on. Getting the car's bumper off for this service mode is actually pretty easy and intuitive and doesn't take too much time or effort.
Yes, you will want to do an intercooler if you are doing a turbo upgrade.
Other notes "while you're in there" removing turbos:
1. Do the spark plugs, new OEM and gapped down to .022"
2. Do the turbo inlet pipes. They work really well. We like the ones from Do88. I have these in-stock usually.
3. We have done a few big turbo MT cars, clutch is still holding with no issues.
4. Boost levels are dependent on mods, conditions, and octane/fuel. But well into the mid and high 20's. A bigger Pure900 turbo is coming out soon that will be even more power for these cars.
5. If you are DIY'ing the turbos yourself in your garage, just keep in mind fluid loss (coolant and oil) from doing this job. You'll need to make sure to top off and burp. Oil Change while you're at it is also not a bad idea.
