X50 450hp upgrade kit

Hey All,

I just recently joined this forum and this is my first post. I must say that you guys have some fantastic cars and people on this forum! Very informative and nice people. I really enjoy reading on this forum.

I am currently driving 1996 993tt black on black. My car is pretty much stock but have KW v3 and Fabspeed mufflers......so far.

I am planning a X50 450hp upgrade kit for my car. Was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction for ordering the parts. Also, what kinda budget am i looking at for the upgrade?

Your opinions and advice would be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Chris

Opinion: There are better upgrade choices for the $'s than the original X50 upgrade. The Stage 1 kit from Ultimate Motorwerks is about the same price and you get the same or better power and much better throttle response.

I was originally going to do the X50 as well, but after some research I ended up with the Stage 1 from UMW. I've had it for 3 years and love it! The 993 Turbo forum on Rennlist is a goldmine of info...
