Car is now on stock twists and has a full frontal clear bra (wish I would have done this to the S4)
Just got an EPL tune. Will log it as stock, Gemballa tune and EPL tune back to back.
Stay tuned for updates!

Congrats, very very nice.
Saw this tidbit:
LeBlanc's Need For Speed
30 April 2002 | WENN
Friends star Matt LeBlanc landed himself in trouble with traffic police while showing off how fast his Porsche 996 could go - to a reporter. The actor, who plays Joey in the hit sitcom, decided to take a spin in his sportscar with Entertainment Weekly journalist Dan Snierson but got carried away during a breakfast drive in Los Angeles. The actor and his passenger were pulled over by police as LeBlanc was boasting about his turbo: "It's like a full-on videogame." LeBlanc confessed to the cop, "Officer, I'm sorry about that. We were doing an interview and I was showing him my twin-turbo Porsche. I promise it won't happen again." LeBlanc got off with a warning to slow down and then, realising he had a reporter sitting beside him, he explained, "I don't want you to think I got out of that ticket because I'm Matt LeBlanc. Now if I'm Jennifer Aniston, I get out of the ticket." Le Blanc bought the Porsche to celebrate his new $1 million Friends deal.

I can tell you a 996 TT in perfect working order( wastegate properly adjusted, new dump valves, no boost leaks) with a remap and good exhaust is really fast!!
I had an RS4 B5 MRC tuned 510bhp, 530ft/lb and it was fast and it felt fast due to the noise of engine and exhaust , it was really raw power, but on a 1/4 mile run it wasn't mega faster compare to a 996TT with remap.... An S4 has less top end but much more torque available from low down. yeh the 2nd and 3 rd gear flat out is mental I know that !!
The speed of the 996TT is very deceptive, you don't realise the speed you are doing because it was design for that. Fast without drama.
I have to say the 996 TT even with a nice exhaust does not sound as good as an S4 or RS4 with 3inch straight through pipes !!!!
