Cost of install differs depending on where you take it. Cost ranges from 2.5-3.5k. If you're near southern California I would recommend you giving euro auto spot a call to get a quote. I thought their price for install was more than reasonable.

Yup! Had a hectic weekend trying to help a friend move into a place she just closed on. I need to go back to the dyno shop to get the overlay graphs because the person that did the dyno didn't know how to get the overlays printed.
a little teaser: ~ 90rwhp gain on 91 octane pump gas so far. just sent more data over to Mike@TPC, maybe a little more to go = )
will post video of the dyno as well as graphs comparing the TPC with stock and the RS350 kit this week.

After reviewing the AFR, Ignition Angle, MAF(+tank vent), MAF(v), RPM, and Engine Load logs, Mike@TPC believes that while 360rwhp is good given the sub-91 octane fuel we get here in California, we should be able to squeeze out another 15rwhp or so if we can lower the charge air temperature and improve intercooler efficiency.
I'm going to look into it this week with Shane @ Euro Auto Spot by implementing some of Mike's suggestions and then maybe get another dyno done at the end of the week if we see marked improvement in timing adaptation.
Will post an update later this week.

Quick update for all you CA folks e-mailing and PMing me about my car:
close to my first 5k miles, getting ready for the first oil change. So far so good, not a hiccup as my daily driver. TPC is working on a new tune that will bring the power output beyond the current 360rwhp on 91 octane fuel. Should have the new tune in the car in the next few weeks. Will post my impressions along with updated dyno information as soon as I can.

Kevin...sorry I didn't get a chance to give you a holler when I was in cali over the summer. Just got caught up with doing a ton of stuff with the family. I might be making another trip in early Dec (not 100% certain yet). Still wanna check out the ride!! Great to hear that everything is going great with it!!!
Hey Kev, do you know if the silver 996 was the same 'mystery' car that destroyed everything on Supercars Exposed? The Techart 997 Turbo was beautifully sorted out, but that 996 had something evil under the hood.
