crap...have you ever noticed that 5 seconds after you buy something, its replaced with something better? 
I have EVO stage 4 with wastegate springs, hoses, fuel regulator, clutch. So i still need new turbos, intercooler, clutch master and slave conversion, turbo water cooler, GIAC flash? Wow, that sounds like a lot of dough for 60 HP. Are you recommending us stage 4 guys to go with this or would it make more sense to move up to GT700?

In comparison with your vfe m3, how much faster if the 911?
I was fortunate to be the first to get this kit. Evolution Motorsports used my car as the test mule and lets just say I am very pleased with the outcome.
Evoms installed a supercharger in my M3 and while doing so I hung around the shop and watched what they were doing with the all the P-cars and was very impressed. So I bought a 2004 996tt and asked them what they could do for me. Well it just so happened that they needed a car to test the new GT660 kit and of course I said OK!!!!
Mind you this is my very first Porsche and I drove it stock for about 1000 miles. I talked to Mike for quite some time about this kit because I really wanted the car to be a very reliable daily driver. I wanted it to drive like a stock 996tt until I mashed on the pedal. When I first drove the car, I drove it very easy down surface streets and it felt no different than my car before I took it to them. I was pleased, and the clutch with out assist was just so much better. I entered the freeway and started to accelerate in third gear than hit it hard and I just could not believe the power and torque. I could not get the huge grin off my face for days. I got home and my wife asked why I was smiling. I gave her a ride and she understood completely.
I have put around 1000 miles on the car and she runs perfectly. Crazy fast that I am finally getting used to. The power is surprisingly linear and very manageable. Turbo lag, well I can tell you it is no different than stock. When I put my foot down, the acceleration is instant and the torque is absurd.
I must say that I was at Evoms just about everyday during the installation. I was probably in the way but they were so tolerant. I drank their coffee and loitered in their showroom for hours. It is so easy to hang out there. Mike and the rest of the staff were simply awesome, trying to explain how everything worked.
Mike.... you have a great job!
I would like to thank the rest of the crew as well. Joe who did my installation very meticulously and John the master tech and Todd who once I actually saw pick up a wrench and adjust something under my car. You guys run a top notch shop. I am putting you all on my christmas list.
