Maybe he is Ron Jeremy......but the new Tubi,AWE, Remus, and the GHL ALL make power
He just does not know anything about exhausts. All above have dyno sheets!

I visited Sportec today. Will probably go for their 540 pkg, although the 580 looks interesting too...

yep as far as Remus, the power increase was noticeable right after install

thanks girth, good luck!!

for those who have k24s.... protomotive offers a Kick *** upgrade.. very affordable... custom tuned ecu with full controll over boost level via a greddy boost controller... its a 600 hp package ...
not trying to plug anyone... but I know this kicks *** and for the money its great.
Its a great set up for those who like to have controll over boost running on different octanes... pump gas = low boost.. and race gas= high boost... anywhere form 1 bar to 1.35 bars.
nothing to take away form any other tuner...
just my opinion,

Pierre,

I was passenger in a Sportec 580hp GT2 yesterday. As the twisty swiss mountain roads were not the best place to test this 2wd setup I have no detailed impressions.
Just let me tell you that the 580hp is the way to go. Whole different car than a stock X50.

Stummel, get your GT2 yet???

Stummel

Tom,

no GT2 yet, still searching for the right one.
It is really not easy to find a no accident GT2 with plenty of power as there are not too many of them.

If there is a nice one for sale it usually will go within a day.
Most of the cars for sale are in a very below average condition compared to 996tt's.

I am in no real hurry besides all the track days are coming and the sun is coming out.

Have fun!

GHL definately makes power its very noticeable! By the way I got one for sale if interestd ($1200) with little use.

Pierre

The 580 pkg sounds good, yep. What bothers me a bit is that below 3'000-3'500 rpm, there's actually less torque than stock. Above that, it's a whole different story of course! But in comparison, the 540 pkg has more torque than stock even at lower rpm. Besides, there's a CHF 20k difference in price... So I'll most probably go for the 540 and for bigger front brakes as well. Decision this week...

Stummel

For your twisty roads you need a lot of torque at low rpm I guess.
Ask sportec if Kevin can zero clearance the turbos before they install them.

Pierre

zero clearance the turbos?... Whazzat?

Stummel

Pls. ask Kevin for the details.

It is a process to reduce the turbo lag to a minimum and increase the efficiency of the turbos.
That should allow Sportec to tune the car for increased boost at lower rpms.

The result is a happy Pierre on twisty mountain roads...

markski

Kevins ZC turbos are very NICE.

Pierre

Now, that's a good reason!
