Default New member - new to me 2008 cab - what do I have?

I am happy to finally join this forum after many years of thinking about a 911, but driving Corvettes! I look forward to learning a lot during my visits here.


On Saturday, I purchased a 2008 turbo cab with 26,000 miles. the purchase was conditioned upon a positive PPI which was done today. PPI was very good but with some additional info I didn't expect. On the test drive I figured the car had aftermarket exhaust, but PPI showed Fabspeed exhaust and cats, TechArt headers, and a tune described as "conservative". The guy who did the PPI estimated an additional 75-100 hp from add-ons.


Can anyone identify the TechArt package, if any, I have. And, is the hp gain accurate from this type of mod? Thanks, Bill

I know the estimated HP gain from exhaust (no headers) and FVD tune is about 75HP, so it sounds like your guy probably knows what he's talking about.

Welcome, and enjoy your TT!
