I love Agate I saw one at a dealership and I was hooked. So when I finaly decided to buy one I ordered it in Agate. With the satin HREs, and 35% tint, and tech art springs I love the way it sits and looks, The car never looks brown. I'm a horrible photo's, but I'll post some more pics.

and my never ending quest to make the top end of my 991 Turbo S better than it currently is I did some extensive digging from the folks in the know. Looks like this fueling upgrade could produce significant gains for the 997.2 TTS but not as much for the 991 TTS as the tune as the fuel delivery is closer to already optimized by the tune.

My experience from real world racing is that the 997.2 TTS is considerably faster on the top end than the 991 TTS with similar mods due to it's larger turbos and the need without intercoolers to cut back on the boost as revs get high in the 991 TTS. At DFC runway event last weekend by the end of the quarter mile, a 997.2 TTS with the Softronic tune and Europipe was going about 5 mph faster than my GIAC Stage 2 991 TTS.

Looks like when the champion intercoolers come out with the GIAC tune optimized for them top end will get better in the 991 TTS. I'm not sure you will be getting the same kind of results in the 991 TTS as you did in the 997.2 TTS at least if you are sticking to bolt on mods.

I am counting the days till I can add the intercoolers and the enhanced GIAC tune to my 991 Turbo S to see how much better it makes my top end. As of now the car really is a beast to about 100 but then the acceleration rate slows down considerably which I now know is caused by the need to dial back boost so the turbos don't get too hot due to the lack of enhanced intercooling .

The same principles apply to the fueling upgrade so the plan is I'm going to try it on the 997.2 and then if I order a 991 (I'm going to wait a few months to order the 991.2) then move the technology to the 991.2.


I have heard that the turbos on the 991s are smaller so that would lead me to likely upgrade to 68's if I get a 991 to match (hopefully exceed) the power of the stock turbo 997.2.

If you go 991 TTS to keep dominating the half miles as your incredible 997 is doing you are going to want/need upgraded turbos.

Looks sick, by the way. And the rims look awesome too. I have Agate and I love it. Doesn't look brown to me in any lighting.

Beautiful. Drive it in good health. I wanted to order Agate on our "on the water" TTS but my wife wanted white. Since it is really her car I couldn't argue when she said she didn't tell me what color F12 to buy.

Mark is a great guy. I reviewed his car pre-tune. Fell in love. 991 TT is the best overall performance car, period.

Here is my review. Warning - pop-ups:
