Love it! The GT3 front end looks great!

Also love the custom intake pipe, I want to get one made up as well. I will wait until I put a 75mm TB in.
Few q's!
Have you got a 75mmTB and what size piping do you use for pipes?
Could you get one made up for me?

Thanks!

I love the look, are the inlets large enough?

Itīs from DP motorsport germany.
Includes fenders, bumper, lights, blinkers, hood is 996tt...
best of all its bolt on.. The fit is actually pretty good even if you maybe have to do some minor adjustment.

Nice project ;)

Will the 997 airbox fitt without any major modifications..? How did you do it and what was the cost of the box??

Besides the new piping to Turbos and from IC it was no major problem!

I used 2 x 2,5 -> 3 inch piping if remember correctly.
I can check price for making another set.
Do you want the complete package with airbox?

For information:

Iīve been thinking alot about what ECU tune I would go with and I had some regional Swedish solutions in mind..
But right now I switched my opinion and now it looks like we soon will have the first Swedish/nordic Promotive tuned 996TT thru the Swedish speedshop tuner "SMR" (also known here on 6-speed).. The only question now is what stage I should go with and hopefully Promotive wantīs to widen their market to the Nordic region and gives me and SMR a good package deal!:p

durametrix + ecu =$3500 obo and $365 per retune... thats about right assuming you have the ford maf and correct fueling...
you can go somewhere else and get it cheaper but you get what you pay for... and on a project like yours I have a feeling that it will be a handful to tune... so choose wisely...
If I was you I would even be scared doing email tunes unless you have all the elements that Protomotive requires with their tune. for example, if you use some goofy injectors and have fuel problems because your starving you tank due to the fuel not traveling back or if you do not disconnect the fuel cooler and your Fuel pressure drops 20 psi like it did on my car... etc/..... so many things can go wrong... so be smart and not just expect a ecu to work...
good luck

What we are talking about is the 630HP kit with 18G..
Would you say that it gives me the problem you mentioned above?

Puppan 04-18-2008 06:30 AM

my setup right now is

Cup wheel
ported headers
FVD 100 cell loud exhaust system
5 bar fpr
EVO bows
GT2 IC
K24
Completely re-designed air piping.

And maybe some new Promotive parts
18G upgrades
WG spring upgrades
Greddy Bc

Wow, just went thru this entire thread. What a fantastic build. Tuners like you are what makes the auto sport really alive!

I'm showing my peers pictures of the "original" porsche and your finish product, and they are in awe!
