Car seems slower after mods..
I installed a cargraphic exhaust (which is a little on the loud side for me but I think I like it 
) with fabspeed 200 cell cats and a agency power intake... and the car feels a little sluggish than stock. Do I need to wait for the computer to reset itself or something? Any thoughts

I think what is happening is what I felt. The car felt sluggish at the lower rpm's but it actually has more power at higher rpms. The backpressure of the original exhaust helps on the low end driveability, but hurts where power is needed at the top end. The high flow exhaust helps in the mid to top end, but hurts in the low end before the turbos make power.

You probally lost some low end with the mods listed, but gained more in the top end than you lost in the low end. You could smooth that all out with dyno time and tuning, but with only those mods, it might not be worth the time and cost yet if you plan on more extensive modifications.

That air box works pretty good,I would disconnect the battery for 5 mins , take the car out and drive it in a spirited way and see if that helps.The absolute best mode for the TT is a Flash....World of difference.

He is the man resposible for building my 3.8 liter 996 turbo. He has a very close relationship with Protomotive and has built many of the Proto cars here in Texas. He has everything needed to tune for protomotive as well as building a turbo motor! You can write him at ainoble@hotmail.com
Good Luck
