Marksi,
Yeah, I have been talking with Todd about it and it'll run me close to $10k after install I believe (still have to get with Akram to see how much he charges to install). I just wasn't sure if I "need" the 650 kit when all I want is some low-end power and some spirited hwy runs.

Dude, None of us NEED the 650 kit! The question to ask yourself is, Do you WANT the 650 kit.

Lets turn the question around a bit:
WHO will be doing the work?
Installed will prob be someone in Houston (Akram)
CHOOSE a shop/tuner FIRST....
I'm up in the air between Proto, EPL and Imagine Auto. I have spoken to a few people on Proto and I think I want to go that route.
Then choose the parts. Parts are easy.
IMHO
I'd also break it into a few stages, unless you want to do it all as one.
Stage 1 - Power: Flash, exhaust, DVs
Stage 2 - Suspension
Stage 3 - Turbos, wastegate, ICs?, Fuel?
You CAN do 1+3, but stopping after the relatively 'stand alone and non-duplicative' stage 1 items makes a nice 'step'.
Look at the zero clearance hybrids. I think this will minimize spool up and optimize low end torque and power.
You've read the threads...figure out how YOU will get the work done, and work backwards from there.

I agree with everything but the order of tuning. Do the suspension first. In stock form the car has great power and brakes. The US suspension sucks, too high and too soft. For the street get some PSS 10s and H&R sways. Exhaust is next since none of the flash kits will work without it. Do things one step at a time. But most of all find a good shop that has lots of experience with Porsche mods.
Yeah, I think I'll stay away from you and Rob
