For 19s, most popular combo seems to be 235/35/19 and 315/25/19. That's what I have.

Great pics! Most mechanics avoid dropping the engine to save time on such an installation. You can be assured that no corners were cut on your car.

Your car is beautiful Hollywood! I love those black P40s. Is Akram the same guy that used to work at the dealership? I didn't know he had his own shop.

I think a 8 piston 380mm front brake kit is in order for that monster. A beauty

Thanks for sharing. I am currently waiting on the arrival of my PE700 from Proto and can hardly wait for the install after looking at your pics.

Thanks for the pics Tom!! Looks like it was a very thorough install...I've never seen a motor drop for a turbo/FPR/Greddy install.

So what are your impressions of the kit? Are you happy with it?

2 totally different rides altogether. The cab after tune and exhaust woke up quite a bit as I see 1.1 bar spikes on 93. It feels like a cadilac from the stock clutch stand point which I think I may have almost fryed at the drag strip but it still is holding up somehow. The coupe still takes alot more concentration to drive with the carbonetics clutch and lw flywheel. I see 1.3 bar on high boost and 108 fuel and impoved my trap time from 110 to 123 while babying it out of the whole as I am not quite at 1000 miles break in. Still chattery and clutch makes it feel like as close to a race car as I could imagine. Holding the power though which is a good thing. Thanks!

Yes Porche of West Houston, that is the guy. Extremely customer service oriented. I am very happy. Thanks!

I agree. All in good time my friend. I need to let my wallet recover from modding both cars at once. Thanks!
