You are correct, my life is a dream --- unlike yours which must be pretty miserable to make you sit back and call people you don't even know liars about things you obviously know nothing about.
The phone number to my shop is on the original post along with my name unlike you sitting back spewing bull**** behind a screen name.
I am sure you would like to get out of Chicago area right about now due to the weather, why don't you come to sunny Texas and I'll put my money where your mouth is and then you can come on here and apologize in public for making an *** out of yourself.

The real reason I was posting was to find out about the RMS problem and I hapopened to run across the above thread.
I am still looking for the RMS info if anyone knows.

A truthful posting of your acceleration times will prove your numbers wrong.
I am still laughing that you have such crappy tires on the car that allow you to spin them at 80 mph. The only way you can do that is on ice. If you want help, stop with the tall tales and maybe some of us will take you seriously.

Mine is going in Monday for RMS leak check, keeping my fingers crossed and it has the newest 997 seal.

Funny Big Toe... I have driven many 996 GT2's, and they do not spin the tires....
Would love to hear more info..but for your $2k... you have a system that works for you. Would it work in the real world where a shop needs to warranty it, and the motor should something go wrong...no

I have a same discussion with RUF guys in Dallas, we spent good time discussing all the possibilities from supercharger to turbos and all.
Final conclusion was NA car engine is not designed to Handel such a increase of power. Porsche had to go through several engine design just to increase 15 HP that will give us some idea. Best and easiest solution was to upgrade to Turbo car completely different engine design much reliable still more pricey then 997 NA engine that tell the story alone.
At that time I was thinking I bought the wrong car? Same goes with the RMS issue it's design fault of this NA 996 engine but ofcourse Porsche not gonna admit it good luck fixing it again and again. My two cents.

Sorry, but the 3.4 engine can handle plenty of power, and far beyond any Porsche stock turbo with NO internal changes. The engine can also safely manage an effective compression ratio greater than the stock TT.
If what you said about RUF's comments were true, then why would they sell a product that increases the power of a NA 996 engine with no internal mods?

Certainly not that's why I posted the link. However why you want spent almost 18K on a blower and reduce the resale value of your car and take a risk on engine integrity, when you can upgrade to TT Turbo car for same or even less amount? Not to mention they recommend new engine for SC if you have 40K miles on the car.

A C2 NA car is more of a driver's car whereas the TT is more of a touring car. Many would prefer a more nimble C2 than a heavy boat with the same power. A properly SC'd C2 will outperform all stock TT's on acceleration and minor mods to the C2 will provide as much, or more acceleration than many stage 3 TT's.
Therefore, you not only get more acceleration performance for less money but have, what many believe, a better driving experience.

400+ pounds more for the Turbo.

Big Toe,
Sounds like a very cool upgrade. Would love to hear more about what you have done, what type of turbo, different injectors?, custom dme mapping?, etc. Also, if not too much trouble pictures would be really welcome.
Also, welcome to 6speed.

Don't want to start a debate here but different strokes for different folks. I would go with the factory reliability and efficiency of twin turbo's besides there are lot of other ways to lose a weight form TT not to mention rear wheel conversation to make it more nimble not for me though either. If I want to play these games with the car I would get something cheap and experiment all day long IMHO.
