(Interestingly, it was dead even through 2nd gear, and only started pulling ahead once in 3rd and into 4th).

Turns out it was delivered to an unattended mailbox at the complex EVO is operating out of. Mr. Stone himself tracked down the actual delivery guy asking him where the ECU was and was met with an "uhhh....". Sam had the guy go and open all the mailboxes at the business park and sure enough, there mine was, delivered to the wrong box.

I got everything back, and installed in the car, and I couldn't be more happy! Huge thanks to Sam at EVO for providing great service and an excellent tune.




82mm 997 GT3 Throttle body installed, IDP plenum installed, BMC drop in filter installed, Fabspeed cat-back installed.




Interesting to note: I got the ecu back with the tune before the plenum came in, so I had to install the tuned ECU without any of the other mods it was tuned for, namely the throttle body. Sam assured me it would just run a little rich, but would be good to go. Even without the tbody and plenum, the tune alone was worth it. MUCH better throttle response and a smoother power/force delivery. I would estimate from butt dyno 10 hp and +10 ft lbs for sure.

But then when I got everything together OH MAN! The tune really tied all the parts together, the car sounds GREAT now. Before there was absolutely no induction noise, my biggest complaint over my boxster. Now it sounds like thor himself activating the throttle, there even more power and torque. I would estimate no BS, +25-30 hp and +20 ft lbs, but I will confirm on a dyno in about a month, where I reeeeeeally hope I'll hit 285-290+ whp

I have PSS10s coming in 7 days (thanks TH motorsports!!!). At that point the car will be converted to RWD, I'll do new plugs, and an underdrive pulley. Install a PC950 in the frunk for added lightness, then I will have the car corner balanced and aligned and dyno'ed in new jersey. There's a thread on here showing the gain from AWD to RWD is 12whp and 10ft/lbs and minus 70lbs sprung weight.

Really hoping for 290 whp, and 3200lbs empty (sans drive and fuel).
