Tuning ... easy COBB from Sam bydesign, great customer service, and proven performance.

Warranty.. Depends on dealer.

Wheels? 22s on a Turbo? Nope.

Have had folks pushing for VR-tuned or Techart. What would be the difference between all including Cobb?

Also, in Montreal,have guys doing 22'' rear and 21'' front...

Anyhow, what brand/model of wheels would be a good choice for this car without breaking the bank?

Thanks

Can you please send us photos of the 21"//22" setup that you've been seeing around on the Turbo? We know this car very well and we've found that it's not possible to safely do a 21"//22" without harming the car's AWD system. I'm interested in seeing how someone got around that.

What price range are you looking to stay within for your wheels? We carry over a dozen brands that span across a wide range of pricing.

We suggest running 21" all the way around if you want an aggressive fitment. We have A LOT of different options for different price points. Is there any specific style or look you were wanting?

Some dealers will do the FVD and are cool about the warranty in my area. I think the 20s are big enough, but to each their own. Maybe lower the car a bit with a suspension upgrade, so it fills out the wheel well more?

Hi Pep

Yeah 21" all around. There are some threads on here about different suspension set-ups to go with larger wheels too. I have a few dealers not too far from you that will install and support our parts if you need.

Cheers

Hi,

I would do the Cobb through Sam, the customer service that he offer is out of this world, I am sure other can vouch for that. Plus he has vast experience with all the stages in these cars.

The only tune for which there is a written warranty supported on top of the porsche factory warranty is GIAC if purchased through Champion Motorsports and installed at a local GIAC retailer.

If something goes wrong and your car, and your car was tuned by any other company, you are subject to Porsche determining whether your warranty has been voided. And they have lots of ways to determine whether your car was tuned, even when the tune has been uninstalled.

If you would like to know more, your best bet is to call Champion Motorsports and ask for Tom.
