What I am really looking for is some more low end torque out to the corners and this should fit the bill as long as it is not to peaky. I tuned a 997 turbo and I hated the drivability of the car after the tune... it was hard to come out of corners without getting sideways and it became very unpredictable. I also had a GT2 that I loved how the power came on... very linear and predictable, this is what I am looking for.

20" wheels on a Cayman look terrible and handle even worse. Many people have the TechArt kit and it always looks great.

My advise, listen to TPC completely for ALL of the power and suspension upgrades, and you will go away looking like a genius.

Attached is a decent graph of our turbo system for a car just like yours. you can see that the turbo torque curve emulates the standard curve, however it is ~120 lb/ft more at all RPMs. Our goal is drivable hp. We like to track these cars and there is nothing worse than a car that comes out of a corner with spikey torque to upset it. Would like to help you in any way possible. We can work with your installer/dealer on putting together packages. My direct email is cparkin@tpcracing.net

Thanks Casey... I will have Ethan give you a call and get all the info, I don't think I have a choice anymore, this is a must do. Ethan will be very excited about doing this… he gets as much fun out of these projects as I do… well almost

So now that we are getting into this project in a bigger way than I thought, I will have some almost new parts that were added months ago coming off the car to make way for the new “vision”. So if anyone is interested I will post them here as they come off the car.
