I had a post about my car with upgraded vtgs but it fall with other 9 posts due to a server crash.. Modified vtgs are the best solution.. Very much Power indeed..

Ruf offers a 1 year warranty on the engine and turbo upgrades. Does EVO?

After visiting the Ruf Facility in Bahrain .. I have been brainwashed. They do a complete dyno (engine and 4wheel) after all parts have been installed and will redo the installation if it isn't within spec.

For those that don't have the luxury of a capable EVO/Proto installer next door ... Ruf is bar none.

Porsche is charging for a lot more than just mods and warranty. The GT2 is miles ahead of the TT suspension wise.

20K for a reflash, air filter, exhaust and clutch-

Am I the only one that thinks Ruf pricing is asinine?

Don't want to pay for it? Well go with another tuner. I've never seen a used Porsche retain equal value after mods...with the exception for RUF.

some knows the MAX BOOST of the stock VTG's??
i dude it can produce 1.4 BAR like the GT2 in the video. if they use the same turbine, so the TT can produce MORE power with JUST ECU TUNE.

Miles? Not even yards ahead. Dial the front from the stock TT's front -0.4 camber to -1.2 camber and the race will be very close. Over the 11 mile ring the -300lb weight + 50hp advantage buys the Gt2 only 8-10 seconds total. That is roughly what a 100hp advantage buys in otherwise identical cars. If there was any special sauce, the difference should be 2-3x more. The real differences won't show unless you are doing enduros, which none of these cars will see.

im not comparing, just stating whats available. evo offers more power at a lower price point. its not like the Ruf treatment is going to make a 997TT appreciate like crazy, they are plentiful and will be taking a nose dive in value in the coming years.
