chris- glad to see the pics up finally! I obviously love polar as well...

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WHEELS POINTED STRAIGHT WHEN YOU FLOOR THE PEDAL!

you might also want to upgrade the suspension if you haven't done that already- car control is directly related to keeping it all tied down properly

does your car come with the techart exhaust also?

Yes, the car does have the Techart exhaust. I have not yet upgraded the suspension, but plan on doing that shortly. Will do my best to keep all 4 straight!

Thanks for the comments. I looked through the Andial paperwork i received with the purchase of the car, and it shows a S type oil cooler was installed. Do you think that is the Turbo S oil cooler? If so, would you still recommend the Cargraphic/Ruf oil cooler? I will probably pass on the ecu upgrade, the hp that is already available to me is plenty for now!

The "S" cooler is pretty small. I had one of those on my previous, stock 993TT. Not adequate for high ambients with any agressive driving. With your HP, you MUST get the bigger cooler. Oh... and JJayB has VAST experience with the Andial setup. Become very good friends with him. Fax him a 6-pack of some nice beer.

Congrats, and from what I hear of the Andial conversion (none here in the UK for what I understand), I'm drooling!

Doesn't CJ have one as well?

Urb,

Damn pretty indeed! I would love to add them and then try to think of some way to make them functional (rear seat butt coolers?). No knocks on any of the turbo "S" cars or their trim bits. They are georgous cars! And in Euro trim, I think they are rated at more like 450HP. Is this correct?

Beautiful car. great pictures. Enjoy the ride. Let the engine idle for a few minutes after any hard driving to cool the turbos, and don't go over 4000 rpm until engine is warm.
again beautiful car...welcome to our obsession!
