Anyway a brighter note today, engineer/garage has insurance and is talking about potentially using it, the car was been taken from there by Sportec on a closed truck for an initial inspection, they have a probe with a camera to look into the turbos etc - To be continued in a couple of days

In the US the 7K would lead to the shop owner, the service advisor and a few young ladies out on the town. Their wives stayed at home watching Desperate Housewives reruns.

Bigger turbos require even more money to make them work right...

I find these last couple of posts humorous. It wasn't that long ago that a 550-650hp car was considered mind blowing. Granted, the advancements in power kits for the 996TT has come a long way and now an 800hp car isn't that un-common. But the thing I think about when it comes to power additions is what am I trying to accomplish? While I think a K16/16g or K24/18G setup would be fun, I can't think of a single need for it. I am chipped and right now my car can get me into trouble as it is. To me a 16G or 18G setup would be mind blowing. Of all of the limitations my car has, HP isn't one of them. Suspension, lack of LSD and understeer however are the limitations. But then again, it all comes down to intended use.
