Not all Porsches are created equal. Dr.Ferry saw these problems you had with the SL55s and was so happy to see you move on over to Porsche, he granted you a very special Turbo.

My peak bar is .7. Could you feel a difference in power?

I was hitting 1.0 bar while in Elko, Nevada over the weekend for an Open Road Race. Was about 70 degrees and a bit higher elevation. I couldn't tell any power difference. Around here, I hit .7 bars only.

the only difference is that i have been driving in the same area, and the max i got was .7 ... now i hit .9 ... this may be a very stupid question but does putting a gt2 wing and new filter have any effects on this (thats the only thing i have changed)

new filter could cause .1 bar raise possibly... I thought the max bar was 0.6 bar on non X50. I beat the hell out of mine when it was stock and never hit higher than this IIRC. When I chipped the car, I could hit .9 bar, and now hit 1.1 bar occaisionally.

This is on a stock non X-50 turbo at 5000 feet. I have seen 1.2 indicated at 8000 feet.
