You can already beat everybody at stop lights. Why more power? Oh...merging lanes on the highway, I get it.

Just be aware that modding the ecu voids the warranty on your 170k car.

Why more power? because there are plenty of modded cars out there eating up my stock turbo s. I want to push this car much further, I came here looking for the the best info on how to make this car faster, I didn't ask for people to tell me how "great" the car already is. I've had the car for a while now, I already know what it is capable of.

you got the wrong car.

if you wanted to heavily mod it, should have gotten a mezger - 997.1

700hp on stock internals.nyour .2 will need significant mods to handle more.

Laternately, just push it until it blows up. the .2 motor is much cheaper to replace than the .1

"eating" your Turbo S? What are you running against? And where? Sounds like you wanted a highway/drag monster and again, the Turbo isn't really that in stock form.

I'm also picking up a hint of arrogance, I may be way off base but your replies here lean in that direction. I'd suggest using the search feature and speaking with a few vendors to decide where you want to go with the car mod wise. I also agree with the other posts that you DEFINITELY should have went with the .1 version if you're looking to make insane power with the car.

AS many opinions as tuners. I would go with Champion Motorsports (GIAC) because they warranty your engine/drivetrain for as long as the manufacturer. 4 years/50,000 miles.

Most reliable tune is the one with the actual warranty.

yes 997.1 makes more power but only on the highway. PDK will beat a stick by .8 seconds (an eternity) in 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times, all things being equal.
