No "chipped" or flash before... car was stone stock engine/exhaust.

It is just wild. I'm still flabbergasted.

Congrats man! I know how you feel as I just picked my car up from Titan and lets just say that the 8 hr ride home I had a smile on my face all the way and I only got into boost 3-4 times. I was suprised by the gas mileage as well as the on board reader said I got 25.5mpg cruising at 80mph.

"I brake for nobody". Wow, I forgot about that one. That's a keeper, thanks for the flashback.

RA210252 is infamous around these parts

''If/when"' a guy was to convert his 996 tt to a 16/16g turbo set-up, can the ecu be overwritten if it has a previous program in it? My car has a Upsolute flash in it.

Yes it can. I also had an Upsolute flash on mine when I sent it to Tony to have him install his programming.

Great review, Please give us details of what parts you've installed.

Anyone know how a tip holds up to a setup like this

I did post up some pics of the install, but in a nutshell, the parts were....
Turbos, header and turbo gaskets,
Spark plugs,
Fuel pressure regulator,
Flash.
Still marveling at performance. It's crazy.
