I know the blue car has 21x12.5” ET70 rear wheels with 325/30/21 tires. Do these fit without rubbing on SPASM height or does the car need to be lowered?
I feel like this would be nice for some more traction on tuned cars but every other 21” wheel I see on this site is 11.5” or 12” rear with 305 or 315 tires.

No rubbing, I have those on the T now. The blue car was quite a bit lower and no issues.
We've got some good baseline testing done for the T at our home testing track (Circuit Florida). A lot more testing to come in the coming months. We validated the ME Stage 1 tune and will be doing more testing on various components like intercooler effectiveness and development of our intercooler water sprayer kit that we've been developing for some time.
We recently reinstalled the PCCB conversion kit and added Motul RBF 660, pics below!
Teaser - We also had the opportunity to also take the vehicle up to Ohlins USA to get their Road & Track coilover kit dialed in. We'll have a blog post and deep dive video coming in the next week or so showcasing that trip. We got some mountain driving in and also a track day at Road Atlanta. We're excited to bring that story to you, I think any enthusiast will find it pretty fascinating.
I don't think this was asked but why do P car tuners love meth so much? I feel like it's so 90s when ethanol is available at the pump without extra equipment. Any reason why it's not more widely used?
It's so much more common in the BMW and Audi world, no one uses meth. Like a stop 1 E60-85 tune on an RS 3 or TT RS jumps from 400 hp stock to 592.
Sure, you could add a content reader but it isn't necessary and there are options for flex fuel which does add a bit to the cost but allows for the ability to not worry about the actual ethanol content.
Meth requires much more hardware and eats up limited trunk space.
I did see that M Tuning does offer it but more curious why more people don't use it.

The injectors aren't upgradable and can't sustain the duty cycle requirements for higher output.

Thanks John. Is this a down side to Porsche changing to Piezo injectors in the 9A2 Evo engine? I have noticed some reports of fuel injectors issues (missing annd CEL) and Porsche issued a TSB on it. Is this also a problem for the tuners since richer fuel air ratios require higher injector duty cycles under load also ?

They have had some issues, enough for a TSB but we rarely see them. We've had reports of issues in the first 100 miles with injectors but doesn't seem to be wide spread.
