At least it will keep your wife or kid safe
A roll bar on the street is very dangerous...unless of course you have FIA padding or everyone is wearing a helmet. A small accident can be severe if your head hits the bar...

Boostin is infamous around these parts
It does fit the 997 but not sure on the cab. Not to threadjack but I have a black one sitting in my garage if anyone is looking for one. PM if interested.

Thanks Ben. Most of the time I shoot with a 5Dmk2. If I have the time to compose a shot, I normally do not use Auto mode.

Thanks Yousef,

My turbos are GT3582's with external waste gates. Motor is built with Mckensie heads and GT3 cams (it's a one of a kind build as Proto has not done another one like it). Right now I am running 1.6-1.7 bar as my high boost setting until Proto sends a new tune. The goal eventually, is to run 2 bar on C16. I have 1 bar waste gate springs that actually hold around .8 bar. That level is currently my pump gas setting (600+hp).

$50 bucks for a 2 bar ride in Mexico...that might cover half the gas

How much air (ft/min) does your turbos make? Alpha 28s are 48 ft/min, 3076s are 60 ft/min...

GT3582 = 65 lb/min
GTX3582 = 78 lb/min

GTX came from TiAL's website, but I only could find post on different forums saying 65 out of a GT3582 (it maybe closer to 70).

i found that 65 lb/min too...is that right? I can't imagine they are just 5 lb/min better than alpha 3076s. I might have to pickup a set of alpha 3076s then.

Todd, you going to upgrade to the GTX's?
