Welcome to TS and thanks for an interesting read!

And wow, I have never even heard of an automatic Cayman? Is that US only!?

Response is long overdue, but your gains are just amazing!

I see that you're in MD, I'd LOVE to come check out your Turbo Cayman someday...

I was never too concerned about how much power my car made and what the HP numbers were, for I now LOVE the way it drives, sounds and feels now. In my mind, the power department is finally up to par with the handling . However, after a recent car meet and pull with a 2010 Subie WRX Sti with 390HP worth of mods and a win in my pocket it got me wondering. How much is in the back there? Tomorrow will be that day.

The power mods that will be on my car tomorrow:

1. De-snork
2. Evo-Intake (dry filter)
3. GT3 Throttle Body
4. IPD Competition Hose & Plenum (82mm)
5. NHP Race Headers
6. Agency Power Exhaust
7. Dream1
8. RSS Underdrive pulley
9. Softronics ECU Flash

Wish me luck gents.

My wallet and I will be plugging our ears as soon as they start to talk about their turbo kit

Videos will come

This is my first real post here at teampseed and thought I'd kick it off with an interesting one and say hello. Although I won't have as much power as HassaanAbdeen and his "Turbo S" cayman, I was/am trying to see how much I can get while still keeping it oh so naturale baby
Why didn't you just install the TPC Turbo and reflash and call it a day. Seriously.

When I first started modding my car I didn't have $10k in a lump sum to drop on a turbo kit. I allotted around $11k to spend on my car over the course of 4-ish years.

As a result, I could have:

1. Driven around in a stock Cayman S for 4 years then do a turbo.

2. Continually add modifications to the car in small intervals and keep my mod itch satisfied and the smile on my face.

Looking back on it now, yes I would have loved to have the TPC, but at the same time I don't know if I could have lived with a bone stock Cayman S for 4 years!

I haven't thought about parting the car out to sell and make some extra cash for the turbo. The losses would be too great.

But like I said, at the end of the day I'm now more than satisfied with my Cayman S and honestly could not imagine 465whp
