996 Turbo / GT2 Turbo discussion on previous model 2000-2005 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and 911 GT2.

Have any installed the AP 650 turbo kit from Vivid Racing?

Much appreciate the order. With our kit for those that dont know, you can bolt any REAL Garrett ball bearing turbo. Many guys like Suman, Frank, and Raudel have bought the kit to run the GT3076 with custom tuning and built motors to run 700,800,900HP.

Raudel, had to order the .82a/r for you. Getting an update and will let you know.

Evolution Motorsports pulling there board sponsorship says enough. I mean its one thing to never pick up the phone or call people back, Its another thing to avoid the one place that discusses there product on a daily basis. I smell cash flow issues!

Thanks Dan for being able to respond directly and not through some reseller.

Raudel- I made over 700 awhp with this kit at under 1.5 bar. The possibilities of this kit with the PROPER motor build is exponential. I hop eot be the first to run a consistent 2 bar with out breakage. This is with Catalytic converters people. yes passing emissions.

LOL. Exactly. No problem. Even if you are purely focusing on the 997TT, GT2, GT3 cause the 996TT is and I quote from a conversation "old news", this forum and Rennlist are big venues. I have searched and dont see any other community worth participating in.

Just a side note, we designed the 650 kit to work with the GT2860rs turbo. If you are going to spec out your own Garrett turbo, you may have to change things like your intercooler piping or have other clearance issues. All of our flanges are correct in fitment for a Garrett based turbo.

so why leave the one place that discusses EVOMS products constantly. I see Mike pop on these evoms threads all the time but cant even respond regarding his products. Its more of a shame then anything. I feel like the owners of porsche deserve the answers form EVOMS themselves. If they cant do it on the phone at least they can generally on the boards. No offense to Shark but I rather get prime information form the @ss's mouth not a reseller. Shark you are still the man just speaking my 2 cents.

there have been double the number of new sponsors showing up. i paid for another year, it is not that much. I think they have a flat rate for everyone based on a double or single banner.

Brett B is infamous around these parts
Although I do not have this kit, Dan has been very helpful with answering my questions for other parts I am interested in, I would not hesitate to give him my business. This looks to be a very high quality kit as well. I like the fact that a wide variety of standard Garrett GT series turbos can be used (with the correct supporting mods of course).

Thumbs up

Hey guys I have my two gt3076's for sale for 2k firm. I paid 1500 each because they have the custom 3 inch inlet for direct fit to 3 inch turbo ducts. They have 5 dyno pulls on them thats it. No road time. I am going gt35r most likely. Vivid can do the hard parts to complete this kit with my turbos for an Unbelievable 5500 bucks. PM if anyone is interested. thanks

OK, to be really clear here, as I said before, I've got no horse in this race and I have neither the experience, nor the inclination to opine on which kit is better. Also, please TorresMD and Dan, don't take offense to this, it really isn't targeted at either of you.

My question is: when did "shootout" become a dirty word? I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone is so opposed to comparing different products (and prices) to one another.

Everyone has their biases and their loyalties (As everyone knows who's read my posts, I'm partial to Tony and EPL) but that shouldn't prevent us from running our cars against one another. I would LOVE to run my car in a shootout. I think as enthusiasts trying to get the best possible product for the best prices, we should run our cars against one another to see what works and what doesn't (even if the differences are only marginal).

Our allegiances should be to each other and not to our tuners. I would love it if similarly hp'd cars got together for a day on an independent dyno and at the drag strip. Why don't we all pick nuetral turf and meet up. I'd probably get creamed by either of these kits, but it'd be fun to show up and see how bad.
