Nice mod list! would love to see more pictures

How is the ride quality on the HAS kit at highway speed over bumps compared to stock?

Also curious what boost the T turbos run and what your upgraded ones are at? My S, no tune, maxes out at 17 psi of boost

I don't know the max boost for this turbo setup with the MEngineering tune.

Any other notable thoughts? Love what you’ve done.

The character of the car is the same - just turned up when I want it to be. Comfortable cruising and can rip when pushed. I had a 992 GT3 and this car is not as sharp but that's no surprise. It's a better street car especially with the mods I've made. Ride quality is great, exhaust sounds good with a fair amount of turbo whistle especially with the valves open. Bottom line is I'm very happy with the results!

Ride quality is excellent and I recommend using the comfort tire pressures (29/32psi)

Thanks! Barry

FWIW my GTS tune with M Stage 2 can push 27+ psi depending on conditions, if my data logging math is correct. I want to say stock GTS is 18.6.

I still haven't gotten a satisfactory explanation of why I'd change the piping though... I didn't bother.

Anyways, really tastefully done, OP. Those wheels are 🥵... they'll be next for me, but I already blew through my mods budget for the year and then some lol

I did all the piping because it was part of the do88 big pack kit. Turbo inlet pipe because the stock one is much smaller, hard plastic.

Out of curiosity Barry, what made you decide to move on from the 992 GT3 into a modded Carrera T?

The GT3 was an awesome car but kinda boring as a daily and, tbh, I bought it to flip it. Since that car, I’ve had a Boxster T and C8 Z06. My current car is my favorite after the mods I’ve made. It looks great, relatively comfortable and fast so it suits me to a T.
