Any concerns on putting one on a car with close to 40,000 on it?

Head south and get one of these on your car - www.vividracing.com/997ct . If efficiency, safety, and style is a concern you will be happy!

BTW the last 3 cars we did both 996 and 997 all had over 40,000 miles. Patricks 997 we even did a leak down and compression check on after our testing and it was still flawless!

Where some people would think that having a turbo would mean that there is "lag" compared to the supercharger, there is no waiting for the power with this kit. We have clients tracking their 997's with the CT-520 kit and enjoy it very much because they can put the power down and have it come in smooth.

The drive-ability of the car is fantastic. When driving a car with the TPC Racing CT-520 kit as a daily driver, you don't notice anything different, but once you get into the throttle, a new world opens up. The exhaust note is a bit louder than stock with more grunt to it, but nothing obnoxious that produces a loud drone in the cabin.

Here is a link to our TPC Racing CT-520 Kit that shows dyno charts, videos, and other information. TPC Racing CT-520 Turbo Kit
I'm sold! Need to start saving some $ for the upgrade...

Another happy TPC customer, the power comes on very linear so it feels naturally aspirated. It drives very normal under 3000 rpm, pass 3000rpm anc it just comes alive. I've heard you have to go under the car to get to the air filter and you can't adjust boost as easily as a turbo setup.

That's an awfully small ducting for the intercooler--and I thought the mail slot on the Exige's intercooler duct was tiny! What size puller fans are on the underside?
