i had one of those also lol. sluggish. the minute i was able to trade my '93 carerra for the then second year ( '96 ) 993 i was happy again.

i often vacillate as to which car is more "fun" on a very tight road. the 996tt or the modded 993. i wish i had both still.

993/996 turbo would keep each other company on those cold Cali nights, all alone in the garage...

Got the Europipe install finished and all put back together. Seems to drive fine and got an extra .1 bar. 👍
Time for a better tune.

You can't really go wrong with the few well known tuners. You want someone who will provide good support and is accessible. YMMV there, it did for me. I would recommend calling a couple of them, speak to them, and see who you like the best.

I have a Markski tune, I'm very happy with it.

​​​​​​The three main go-to tuners you'll hear mentioned a lot on here are Markski, Sam (ByDesign), and Kevin (Ultimate Motorwerks). All three are very capable and offer excellent support. All three have different tuning philosophies so I would call them and chat about your goals for the car and then decide who you think is the best match for you and your car.

Installed some FVD Brombacher straight pipes. I LOVE the sound. A lot of posts here had me scared that it would be too loud. I'm good with it.

I can hear the turbo's spool so easily. I don't know if I got any power or anything, but my intent was for sound more than power.

Hehe as long as you love the sound.
