yup a 996TT is the cheapest way to get massive power in a p-car virtually the same as 997 power levels without the high cost of entry.

but b/c of this getting an unmolested 996TT now is becoming as rare as 993tt.

Used 996TT by now usually have jet engines or solid rocket boosters strapped to em.... often installed by shade tree mechanics with their trousers down around their knees.

 

^ true. But don't seem to see many 996 turbos on the track recently. Occasionally well sorted/modded/fast 996 gt3, but 996 turbo is uncommon. I think due to the lower entry cost a lot of the younger street scene guys are in these cars.

 

Hell yes, the track is possibly the best place to learn where your (and your cars) limits are at. You surely don't want to find out in the middle of some public road (possibly in a collision avoidance maneuver) with a bunch of mutants around you. Start at a track that has some run out, just in case, then build up to more challenging courses. I only drive about 75-80% on the track because I still love my car and want to have it forever. But even at those levels I'm able to keep in the mix with a lot of cars that are set up for serious track work. It's great to catch the momentum cars (that pull ahead in the turns) in the straights through sheer power.

 

I'm looking at which oil cooler set up to use. Protomotive offers a set up where two coolers are welded together and the oil is diverted by 50% to run through both coolers at the same time. Meaning half the oil runs through one side and half runs rough the other side. The other option is Patrick Motor sports offers a RS Engine Oil Cooler System, that places a second oil cooler in the left side fender like the RS. The oil runs in series through the first cooler and then through the second cooler. The benefit of the parallel system is it's "drop in" and should help reduce pressure as the 50% of the oil goes through each cooler. (although, line pressure immediately resumes as the oil reunites in the line as it comes out of the cooler.) The benefit of the series system is that the oil is first cooled through the first stock cooler and then cooled again through a second cooler before returning to the engine. Because the coolers are located in different positions in the car, that the RS series set up should provide the most thermo advantage in cooling the oil. I am leaning to the RS series oil cooler. Any thoughts?

 

The only thing I can think of is with that many miles there may be an issue with the bottom end. When stacking 50 more horsies on top may cause trouble, might not!

 

I recommend the GT2/RS factory left fender mounted full bay cooler. Cargraphic or RUF offers decent pricing on the kit.

 

Make your own!

I did the RUF oil cooler, good fit and works well.

I also did the Protomotive 16G, ECU, Boost controller, 5bar FPR, and it works very well.

I am wondering if my diverter valves are right?

Can someone please explain to me the benefit of the 410 Diverters vs stock? Where do you buy 410 diverters?

 

Do you mean 710N diverters?

If so, they are a factory upgraded bosch product available at your local vw/audi dealer for about $50 each IIRC

 

Thanks for info.

So, do I understand correctly that the 710N diverter is a VW/Audi part and not a Porsche part?

btw,I read the "410" in the #6 post.

 

Hey Don,

I have done quite a bit of work to my car...

Mufflers, 100 cell cats, shifter, PSS10, turbo rebuild hybrid, and work on the engine management system. See the chart attached, plenty of oomph and I don't think that I need anymore now that it is at this level.

Absolutely no affiliation with these folks. They have also worked on my '10 GT3

My mistake, you can find em' a lot of places $50 each, That particular car didn't have an extra cooler, ran fine in AZ, was street use though.

Thanks
They are a lot less $ than the Porsche DV's.

 

Hi!

Thanks, by work on the engine management system, am I correct that you mean remap of the ECU? Did you add an additional oil cooler?

 

I am totally impressed!!
