I would advice you to do exhaust, ICs ,software and maybe intake. The bigger IC´s is a "must have" if you live in warm climate. If you do that you will have a car that is just as easy to drive as a stock car and is a hell of alot faster and is as reliable as stock. I think that that package gives you one of the best allround cars ever produced. Sure you can do bigger turbos and so on but that will cost you alot more money and alot more work.

the evotech turbo in this vid has a similar setup as i mentioned above. Stock VTG turbos.

YouTube - ‪Porsche 911 Turbo Evotech vs Porsche 911 GT2 vs Nissan GT-R Switzer P800‬‎

the camera car in this vid, also stock turbos. Bigger IC, exhaust, tuning, intake.

I just keep seeing such a large disparity between performance numbers between people with a wide range of mods.. I dont want to go crazy with the Porsche, as it is a daily driver, even though its a tip id like to go out and do some track days in it etc etc.

What i want to know is if lets say i do exhaust, intake, tune, and tip tune, can I just add the modded VTGS and I/C later if I want, or will I have to go back and redo things Ive already done?

I have owned a whole slew of cars mainly with light mods including my current GTR and the numbers vary so much between tuners claims. I think its a matter of research, good parts and a good tuner to make a complete workable package especially for a DD once you go beyond you loose the drive-ability and then begin looking and asking yourself WTF did I do this.

EVO is top notch stuff and they have perfected the tune process on the TT. Lots of cowboys in the tune game but few rise to and stay on top.

Allan, The simple answer for you is mod until you have a car that provides the exact experience that you desire. It can be a moving target however and some times its trial and error. I think what you posted above is a good start and see what how those mods feel for you. If its not enough you can always through more money at the car, thats the beauty of the 997 Tip. In the end you will be happy no matter what cause you already have a ripper Gallardo TT that is amazing. I hope that helps and if you wanted a second opinion call Tym switzer. I have been very happy with 5 builds on various platforms by his work and especially his method of dialing in truly what it is I wanted in the experience of my particular cars. Good luck!
