Yeah, and with a tune and full exhaust those things will be nasty. One of the results will be Porsche dialing up the next turbo model probably quite.

I stepped on it and we said our goodbyes...

Basically the same scenario with me.....

Very quick indeed. Pure speculation from me but I think Porsche will use efficient smaller turbos to achieve this. A 7 speed PDK (maybe 8 speed?) will be an ideal combo to keep the motor in its power band. Won't be more than 10% left on the table for tuners to wring out is my wildass guess.
