Thanks to Todd @ Protomotive -k24/18g's installed
First I want to say thank you to Todd for putting up with all my questions and emails. Also to Marty and Marek for their help and talking with me.
The install went smoothly and was really easy for me, I watched.
We did the install in a friends garage, a Porsche tech did the install.
I did not install the EBC, since I will probably hardly ever use it (only having 91 in cali), but then again this might change. I know this is against all the advice from Marty and Marek
The car is just plain fast now. As I was entering the freeway 3rd gear (had to get around traffic), the car flew and pulled like crazy. I was at 120 before I knew it. No drop off at high RPM, pulls all the way to redline. I love the new car I just got. I will probably not do a Dyno, but will get an idea of where it is when I do some friendly runs with the stage 4's running around here.

That would be cool, I would like to do it. There is another GT28 car out here in the IE. He has been asking me to compare before I even received 18g's. LOL

Must admit that is the way I went as well. Car is down right amazing now. Just like the improvement you see when you do your first flash.
If I can run the car with this power and it hold up at the track it will be a dream come true!!
I didnt know you could do this properly without the EBC? I was told otherwise.

Mike,
Congratulations on stepping up to a great turbo! I am so pleased and satisfied with my K24/18G's...especially the way they pull up top. Enjoy!
boss,
EBC = electronic boost controller

How you been Bro? Mike, congrats on the kit! I believe Andre, aka "Onetime" is doing this upgrade soon as well.

My understanding is if you have the upgraded wastegates you need to run the EBC to accurately control them.
Drew AKA "The Predator," I'm doing something soon just not sure when.
