Evo is an 03 I picked up from a friend around 6 months ago. has crower cams, full intake and exhaust, mbc and a tune.... pretty much stock otherwise. It's been a best of 12.70 in the quarter leaving a bit on the table (needs driver mod) but it's a great car. Future plans for the evo are a turbo upgrade and a new tune if I keep it, but I go through a lot of cars so it may not be around long enough if something else catches my eye!

 

I'm leaking power steering fluid on the cayenne as of today..... I'm having it looked at tuesday but am wondering if there's any common issue I should look for before I pay to have it looked at? I heard that there's a common issue with a line that feeds the power steering cooler?

 

managed to get the steering leak taken care of! There is a plug on the side of the power steering pump that was loose and was leaking a lot of fluid!

I also measured my calipers.... and they are 14", so I have the turbo s brakes!

 

Nice CTT and congrats on the new SUV.

It looks like your tires are of two differnet brands, as with AWD vehicles it is not good mix brands especially the way you have it. (same brand on right front and left rear)

You may wish to get it looked at.

 

Yeah I need to have them rotated back to the right position on saturday

 

check the disc too if its 14.95 compared to 13.78 frt
and rear disc. at 14.09 over the 12.99

 

Nice Cayenne and Evo! Welcome to 6-speed.

 

Thank you! I'll check the brakes a bit more tomorrow, need to measure the rears

Here's a pic of the evo with it's summer wheels.... SSR Professor SP1 3pc in 18x9 with 255/35's

 

tires look mix matched,

i would reccomend upgrading to 4 of the same tires.. the yoko parada spec x are cheap right now in 22" like 900/set 285/35.22

 

sharp looking car! ENJOY !

 

No reason to do all the brake measuring. There is an options tag under the floor in the back. Just lift up the spare tire well cover and in the upper left corner you will see a white tag with a bunch of 3 digit codes, those are the options that your car came with.

If it came with the "power kit" one of those codes will be listed as "E81"

 

ok, no power kit

 

A simple chip will net you the same power.

The only "physical" difference between a powerkit/turbo S is the intercoolers (when it comes to making power).

Other than that it is software.

(of course there are the bigger brakes, lowering module, lower control arms, but as far as power goes its just the intercoolers and software)

 

as far as a tune.... unfortunately I'd have to pull the ecu and send it away correct?

 

Yes. The early Cayennes need a bench flash. So the ECU has to come out.

I overnighted mine to Upsolute on a Monday and had it back by Wednesday noon.
