Hello everyone. About 3 weeks ago I sold my previous 997 Turbo and decided to pick up another. My previous Turbo was modified by Switzer Performance with their exhaust, headers and upgraded VTG's. Tuning of the factory DME was performed by Protomotive. This car had run extremely well and I had a lot of fun driving it. However, after picking up the CGT over the summer I decided that I would like to have a 997 Turbo that was a bit more "over-the-top". I spoke with Tym Switzer regarding my expectations and goals for the car and decided to leave it to him to build what he felt was appropriate to meet those goals. I dropped off the car at Switzer's about 2 1/2 weeks ago in order for them to perform their magic with the car. I checked in with them today and I was astounded to see how much they had accomplished. As it turns out, they are looking to start the car tomorrow and begin the tuning of the stand alone engine management system.
I have to mention that I was completely blown away by the craftsmanship I witnessed on the car. I'll try to post a couple of pictures of the project so that you can see what I mean.

I am speechless! That is totally out of this world. I almost didn't recognize what engine that is and I just spent four hours looking at it this past weekend. Awesome!!
I had the good fortune of seeing this car on Monday while dropping off one of my cars. The fabrication work is superb and the attention to detail as good as any I have seen. Tym said that the twin GT35R's should be good to beyond 750 rwhp but without forged internals the hp will be "capped" around that figure. A fantastic build. It should sound like a banshee on boost with the waste-gate venting to the atmosphere. Enjoy!

I seen this set up at Protomotive about 2 months ago...
Probably a bell intercooler core... It's a basic protomotive set up with the intake, piping etc...
