What I would expect with a turbo upgrade. Both Cobb and GIAC are in the low 10.3s with tune/exhaust, so I would hope a turbo upgrade would gain another tenth.

I thought Champion hasn't released the turbo upgrade yet?

Nicely done!! Love seeing more tuners getting better and better times across the board with the 991 platform. Fun to be had by all, regardless of which flavor kool aid you're drinking; Very cool. I almost went the Champion route, myself, but ended up going the Cobb route. Champion, however, is an equally great company with great products and expertise as reported by everyone I know that has used them.

Thanks for the kind words and compliments guys. That video is from one of our test sessions which was in January. Conditions were sort of terrible that night, with temperatures in the mid 40's, so we didn't quite get the results we were looking for. I think I posted about it somewhere at the time.

The car (at that time) was equipped with exhaust, intercoolers, upgraded VTG's in the factory housings, and of course the GIAC software. The car has a 9 second pass in it...it's just a matter of getting to the track on a night with just the right conditions, and it seems we have bad luck with the weather every time we try lol.

As soon as our final VTG's arrive here from Tial (which is long overdue!!), we'll release our turbo upgrade package.

been looking at picking up a Turbo S, seems like a lot of mods to just keep up with a McLaren.... how do they run with just a tune?

With just a tune, you'd probably see somewhere around 10.4-10.6 second in the 1/4 mile, at somewhere around 128-130mph, depending on whether or not you added a free flowing exhaust at least.

I love McLarens, but it's just a totally different experience driving one or the other. The McLaren is a more "raw" feeling, whereas the Turbo S has a much more refined daily-driver feel. I'm also a lot more comfortable in the Porsche...being sort of tall.

thanks, mid 10's is quick, more repeatable than the McLaren with AWD as well...

McLaren is very comfortable driving wise in comfort modes, but not as much as a daily driver with the doors going up, getting in and out and attention levels...

going to drive a Turbo S this afternoon and decide....

2 different cars. The 650s is much more raw putting down that its power. More linear too which I prefer.
You will need to go stage 2 with GIAC or Cobb to keep up. Stage 2 requires an aftermart exhaust w catless or high flow cats.
My GIAC tune transformed the car from stock and works nice.

With a tune you don't merely keep up with a McLaren. You destroy it in the quarter mile.

Here is the difference between a stock 991 TTS and a GIAC Stage 2+ one with Champion intercoolers (and this was when my car had about 30 bhp less than now):

Actually, Cobb tuned car on boost only, meth, exaust, and R888's is at 10.1. This is with stock turbo's and intercoolers.
