My latest mods...

So I've been *****ing for a while about the upsolute software and wanting to upgrade. After talking to some of the vendors out there, getting an education on these cars *(this is my first porsche and my first turbo car) and trying ot maximize the bang for the buck, I decided to go with the UMW tune, the 5 Bar FPR, and the new wastegate springs.

I've installed the 5 Bar FPR, and completed the mod for the springs. All that's left is to reinstall the wastegates, time them to each other, install the performance file, and take her for a ride.

I still need to upgrade the brakes, but that'll wait until January, or later.

Mike

Just back from a 30 minute test drive...

I can not express enough emphasis on how different this car now drives with Kevin's software, waste gate springs, and 5bar FPR. I still need to adjust both wastegates to boost at 1.2 bar, as they're only pushing 1.0 right now, but still the car made much quicker throttle response, much more power down low, more part throttle power, and up to 1Bar simply flies... I'm breaking traction now in 4th and 5th were I previously wasn't. At first I thought it was the clutch slipping, until I experience tire chatter/axle hop at the top of fourth.

As I said in the upsolute post, I can NOT believe the difference, and wouldn't have thought that I'd have experienced with just a software tune, two springs and a pressure regulator!
