finally joined the panamera turbo family

My plans :
Cosmetic and weigh reduction :
- hre wheels with michelin ss(maybe p40) 20" .
-titanium lugs
-braille batery
-custom carbon fiber driveshaft
-lightweight rotors
Question : stock wheels and tires weight 52lbs ,wheels alone 31lbd . How much does p40 weight ?
-Exhaust
To much drone and smell from cayenne so no more straight cat . I was thinkin maybe downpipes only ? Can a 3inch downpipe fit in the oem system?
-powermods
Bmc air filter
Forge diverter valve
Agency 3inch ypipe
Custom 4.5 inch intercoolers
Custom billet turbos
Remap( I would love a remap now but I would lose money in it after the bolt ons and turbo)
Any suggestion would be apriciated . Thanks

Great build list! Weight reduction mods are inspiring and cant go wrong with HRE wheels (I would assume you could get a 20"s down into the 22-23 lb ea range)...
I'd def do the performance mods all in one stage so you dont have to remap multiple times... Are you thinking 100-200 cell sport cats for the downpipe? I would assume that would eliminate most of the smell concern that you are experiencing w/ your cayenne...

Yes I think catless downpipe simply its to loud for me.100-200cell is good enough(and wont triger the cel) , but I dont know if a 3inch would fit in the oem system ?
I want to do things step by steps because I dont want to get used to the power of the car lol its a lot of fun ordering the things and put them step by steps , it keeps you occupied and interested.Also I have made my porsche service addicted to mods here lol .
They install everything for free
Wright now I just arrived in my country and leaving the ship.
Will post some nice pictures. The leather combination its simply mind blowing!!

So here are just 2 quick photos taken at the dealer 3 days ago , I will try to take some nice pictures soon because these just dont do justice .
The pdk kind of reminds of my friend gt-r . its smother but gt-r is more violent. both make that bump sound when switching gears.
( ps. 2014 panamera runs newer tcu softweare so can I put the new one ?)
The tires and wheels are confortable but not for my needs. The car brakes traction very bad with continental tires.
The first problem that I encountered was the famous key problem but I solve it. Looks like panamera keys anthenas or the keyless one are very weak signal receivers. I was at the dock waiting the ships and looks like there was to much interference from the radars and anthenas and none of the 3 keys could not work. Once I put the car inside the ship everything worked fine.
Fuel economy is great only 8.5 L / 100 km so around 25 % less than the cayenne.
The engine power and sound is so much diferent.The cayenne has a lot more torque so it feels faster but the speed and the feel in the pants in the stock panamera is nicer. The sound also are 2 different thing. The panamera sound like a mechanical exhaust kind of 991 but the porsche cayenne turbo 957 sound like an f1 car at high revs ( straight cat-no muffler). prety much even from the factory the cayenne had a louder sound.

They are 25 lbs and michelin SS 23lbs so a total of 47lbs . Thats very nice. Considering oem 20 inch turbo II wheels with pirellis are 53lbs in the front and 59lbs in the back

Anyway - it's a beautiful one! I (as you) LOVE driving them. Came from a 2014 Cayman S - miss the PDK feel there (and the tinyness), but not looking back this is a great family car that is very quick!
Can't wait to hear about your mods! And WELCOME!
