I'm struggling to find a clear upgrade path for that power level with a PDK car. 650 rear wheel horsepower would certainly be enough for my needs.

Not yet, I'm not in a terrible rush as I still really like the car. For sure I will miss it's raw acceleration and sheer speed. I'm also still evaluating what to ask for it.

Easy. Headers, catless exhaust, meth injection, ipd plenum, intercoolers, turbo inlets, y pipe, custom tuning and on race gas and you're there no problem.

just bolt ons and faster than gtrs mod for mod and power for power.

Thank you!

I've always avoided alternative fuels (in cars) and methanol, so I'd say I'd have to settle for that list minus those items and run it on pump 93 octane.

It’s mportant to note that PDK gearbox is a limitation to high HP builds too. I believe that you’d be fine under 700HP (you should verify this if it’s your goal), but more than that can be problematic. I moved from a 997.1 TT 6MT to a 991.1 TTS with PDK. I like PDK better than I thought I would.

R1Racer

I don't want to even know what 700hp costs! I'll probably stick to the basics and hope for something close to 600 wheel - at least that's what I'm telling myself for now! I had a similar plan for the GT-R at first.

600 is too easy.. Look at this thread. This guy also came from a GTR. He made 545 wheel HP with just a Cobb custom tune, stock everything else. Stock exhaust (600 CEL cats directly behind the turbos), 93 pump gas.

OP, where are you located?

And, Porsches and big HP are not cheap. Like. Scare you not cheap (if you want reliable beyond bolt ons). There are options for the PDK (custom clutch kits).
you need to work with a builder that builds these as a system and knows HOW to do it. Blow a Mezger and you're looking at a 60k+ bill for the motor.

That's great news! 600 in one of these cars seems to be much different than the same power level in a GT-R, where 600 still felt underwhelming.

It wasn't until the car made 650 wheel wheel that I started liking it and at 700 it finally feels perfect for my needs. It's too bad that the Cobb OTS maps are always so mild in comparison to what is possible, as evidenced in that thread.

I'm in Asheville, NC. I don't want anything insane in terms of build costs and I certainly don't want to taint reliability in any big way, that's for sure.

The OP - You sound like you have the same goals as I do when it comes to a 911tt.. I want one around that power level but kept completely reliable too. ( I also used to road race / track day sport bikes as well... assuming that's you in your Avatar)


I came from THIS (sea below vids), and considered a GTR at one point, but a 911 TT is just a bucket list purchase for me (hopefully sooner and later...still shopping)

You posted that vid on the other thread. Thanks, now I had to watch 3 more times and laugh. That truck is pure awesomeness.

OP, check out esmotor and their bolt on packages for 997.2 turbo/turbo s. Worth it trust me. They hold records for world's fastest tuned Porsches on a variety of platforms.
