Robert,

did you not see my post of what is needed for the gt800 kit. You need alot more than a ecu upgrade and turbo's

Rob has everything except the fuel system.

 

In order to keep up with the insatiable appetite of 996TT owners for more and more power, EVOMS has been supplementing and tweaking the GT800 and above systems well beyond what was originally included. The fuel system, for example, is far more comprehensive than when the GT800 was first introduced. Likewise, the internal engine upgrades have been expanded to improve the structural integrity of the motor. Suffice it to say that the current GT800 system is far more comprehensive than both the GT700 package and the original GT800.

Exactly - that's why i posted that list

 

BTW, thanks for the list. I added some of the details to my mod list (linked in my sig).

Welcome Bud

 

If you are goin to spend that type of money, I would go custom. If I was to do it all over again! Thats what I was getting at.

 

DMK
so you are saying that EVOMS is not custom?? r u refering to Protomove..

thanks for all the advice
robert

 

Evoms is generally known for there off the shelf kits, so no not custom.

 

I agree with the first half of your statement, but respectfully disagree with the second half. In contrast to Protomotive which specializes in one-off custom set-ups, EVOMS is certainly better known for its off-the-shelf packages (the GT700 in particular). Nevertheless, EVOMS offers custom set-ups as well. Recall their 1000 hp TT GT3 with water cooled ICs -- it doesn't get any more custom than that. Likewise, Joe's setup and my set-up are both custom (although many of our components are offered in the GT800 package). EVOMS will also customize GT700 cars (several of the GT700 cars have much more than simply the standard list of components).

Regards,

Craig

 

So back to the original poster....what are you going to do Buddy?

 

i think he should upgrade his turbos and ecu... like i am trying to do!!! i think that is the biggest bang for the buck

Upgraded turbos are of little value without the necessary supporting components. The system will only be as good as the weakest link / most restrictive element. You can strap on GT42R turbos, but if you cannot supply the fuel required for the additional volume of air generated by the larger turbos, the turbos are no good to you. If you are going to go with larger turbos, you must ensure that your fuel system and air path are up to the task. With regard to the fuel system, you must have an adequate injector, pump, rails, lines, regulator, etc. The OEM pump, injectors and lines are not adequate for larger turbos. Moreover, I do not think the fuel system designed for the GT700 turbos is adequate for the larger GT800 turbos. With regard to the air path, you must ensure that every pipe between the airbox and the engine is sufficient, including between the box and the turbos, the ICs, the Y-Pipe, the TBs, the intake plenum, etc.

Yes, the turbos are what make the power, but without the necessary supporting cast of components, the turbos will not be able to accomplish their power making function. You need enough fuel to keep pace with the turbos, and you need to get the additional air to and from the turbos without restriction.

Craig

 

That's fair. But they are more known for the off the shelf kits.

 

Craig,
Rob has everything except the turbos, ecu and fuel system.
