Does you Borla exhaust have cats or not? If so are the cats right next to the turbo? If yes EGTs are your enemy and a 93/100 tune won't give you much more power than a 91 tune unfortunately. Ditch the cats and you will significantly enhance tuning opportunities.

If I stand corrected, the Borla exhaust for the 997tt is catless. It has flex joints where the cats would be hence why I think many are thinking it is a carted exhaust.

The E85 tune is different due to the higher fuel requirements. On the flip side, you can get a 91 tune and run any octane 91 or above without having to change your map (verify this with your tuner).

I know with my extensive mods and a 91 tune, my car runs great with 100 octane and definitely has more power. I have an EPL custom tune and talked to both EPL and the tuner to verify this, and both said it will only run better with higher octane fuel.

I removed the flex pipes for a better sound....
