Has anyone installed this product on your 996? It looks like it would install between the air box and the throttle body. With the rear spoiler raised our 996s are supposed to make a little more HP at speed due to the ram air effect. It seems like this would provide the ram air effect 100% of the time

Mr. C4

Christ! The name alone tells you it is snake oil.

Junk.....and you just blew your first post.

Tim. please help him!!!

The stickers that come with the product will add more torque, but not much hp. As long as they are installed correctly by a trained professional.

He's obviously a spammer. Just remove him.

AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS MADE IN CONJUNCTION WITH, BEFORE, OR AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE TURBONATOR SUCH AS AFTERMARKET AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS, VARIOUS BRANDS AND TYPES OF AIR FILTERS, AND PRODUCTS WHICH INFLUENCE THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE INCLUDING PERFORMANCE CHIPS WILL ALSO INFLUENCE FUEL CONSUMPTION.

Translation..........SNAKE OIL.

Christ, these people say right there in the disclaimer that their HP number are taken directly from customer claims rather than lab testing.

CosmosC4S WTF makes someone a spammer. I have a C4s in seal grey so don't bother with the superiority complex. Ray S there were allot of useful responces if you think I just blew my first post your attitude sucks. Its too bad a few ***holes have to diminish the value of this forum for a new member. Many thanks to the other folks who took the tme to answer.

JC3D

I'm not jumping on anyone's side here, but the assumption could be made since there were 0 previous posts and since your first post talks about a product, that spam could be a possibility. We have all seen it happen here many times. I don't think he meant anything personal by saying that.

Pugnacious P

Actually, what Ray S meant was that he blew his first post by not showing us pics of his Porsche. Note that he informs Tim, the Noob picture watch dog.. Hence blowing the post has nothing to do the Terminator or spamanator or turbonator or whatever the hell it is.

Sids911

Funny name this turbonator ... for some reason it brings "detonator" to my mind ...

And oh, welcome to the forum. Now lets have some snaps of the beautiful C4s you have ... it's an obligatory part of the welcome. BTW, its not for "proof" but for appreciation....

Ray S

Apexhntr, welcome to this merry place. Don't get so excited.

We can be a pretty friendly group, but when someone posts with no introduction asking about a snake oil product it is easy to assume someone is a troll or spammer.

Post up some pics, give us a little intro and you will find we are a pretty good group of guys. We have our moments and topics can occasionally get a little heated. However, it's all good because most here have one thing in common.........we love Porsches!!

As Robert indicated, Tim is our self-appointed "greeter" (he sidelines here when he's not handing out carts at Wal-Mart) who usually welcomes new posters to the board. He obviously performs this with more tact and grace than I do (jk about the Wal-Mart thing Tim, and chop/chop with the greeting. I obviously suck at it ).

Tippy

apexhntr - better get thick skin soon, this forum is brutle. Welcome

P.S. - dont bring up any topics of oils
