EVOMS does have a lot of vendors but that's because they are famous for building really powerful, solid car and have a lot of history in Porsche tuning. Admittedly, it's not as long of a history as Ruf, and not as illustrious either, but it's still a solid history nonetheless. The packages that EVOMS now offers for other manufacturers have only been around for a couple of years, iirc, while the vast majority of their experience has gone into development of some of the most serious, comprehensive, and reliable Porsche engine upgrades out there.

Admittedly, I'm a bit biased as I've only driven EVOMS tuned Porsches but having met Todd and most of the EVOMS crew, I know they're a stand-up group of guys.

That being said, having a RUF conversion with the proper documentation might help you get a bit more money for your car if you decide to sell it down the road, at least compared to having mods from most other tuners. But that's just speculation on my part.

 

i'd have to agree, the 15k for 80 hp is to be completely honest absolutely ridiculous, im almost positive with a ecu flash and an exhaust you could be up around 80-100 for maybe 3-4 k i just don't think the additional RUF upgrades add up to anything near the pricetag, and a 2 year warranty isn't really a selling point imo

 

Many years ago, Eloise Ruf was the hot ticket. Many years ago. Ruf, in my opinion, and meaning no disrespect, has clearly been surpassed by many reputable U.S. and European firms. As a glaring example, the practice of soldering a piggy-back chip onto an ECU is just stone age these days, and, frankly, indefensible.

Ruf has always had (and still does) a well-deserved reputation for quality work, and eye-popping prices. First-rate work can now be had from Champion, A.W.E., EVO, Protomotive, Sharkwerks, GMG, and a few others. All of these people are upfront, trustworthy, and understand how small the Porsche Turbo market is. All priced far lower than Ruf, you get more, and better, from any of them. Time marches on.

 

Ben is correct all three of them has far surpasseed RUF, RUF spent some time standing still on their name brand and it is top stuff but $ to HP gain theses three tuners are by far the best 9FF isnt bad either.

 

is that alois' mom?

 

I think h meant his daughter Aloisa

Ruf is a hotter ticket today than he has ever been,developing and producing stuff even Porsche(let alone other tuners) has not managed to do yet,see the new 8 cylinder engine for the 911...

As far as i know most 911 turbos through Ruf are either converted to or VIN cars Rt12s,not 550s which are not sexy enough for the obvious previously mentioned reasons

 

RUF does one thing any US tuner can't: TUV their stuff. Europeans know what TUV means, probably some Americans. That alone is worth their premium.

 

What is the cost effectiveness of swapping to a v8 when a tuner like EVOMS can make 1200 hp out of the 6 cylinder. Yes the vehicle will be unique but it is almost pointless. You can more than likely get the same performance from EVOMS around the same price if not cheaper than the v8 swap.

 

the 15K includes a new clutch/stronger clutch as well as the other changes, not just a tune and pipe.

 

When talking to Ruf, I learned that they are not pursuing the new TT engine, and are focusing on the v8
