Most impresive project. I'm looking forward to the completion of your 996TT project too.

Nice wheels

Like to see the *new* replacement 997.2 Turbo engine handle 1000 BHP without blowing the whole car to smitherines!! Just shows what a magnificent thing the GT1 based Metzger engine is. Shame Porsche are retiring it to make more margin...

It's pretty great, but I still have doubts about how long the engine will last with that kind of boost.

I am actually not too impressed with a build with that HP that did not have a 200+mph pass in Texas Mile. Don't know why a person would sell a super car after a nice build at 900 miles only. The 1/4 mile run was sick though.

GT RUS You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks!

He had some little porb with ECU and TB not fully opening up at 6 gear...it reached 195 much earlier then it passed 1 mile mark...it does 60-130 in 4.86...

He sells the car to put same kit on his new GT2 that he got while he was tuning his TT...

Swizter is the best...my previous car moded VTGs SPI 750 kit TipS...runned 0-60 in 2.4, 0-100 in 5.9, 60-130 in 6.55...10.4 on driftbox in 1/4...1st time at track in bad weather and not perfect start (0-60 in 2.7) runned 10.66 at 132.9...Tym is great guy I coundnt be happier, I would reccomend him to anyone...thanks...David (DK) for pointing ME in right direction )))...

No doubt Switzer is good. Every person has their own opinions. No one will beat BBi's exhaust as far as HP and TQ, proved Dyno results. Let's see that 200mph pass and I will become a believer. I am onto your 60-130mph though, stay tuned.
