There are at least a dozen Swytzer threads just do a quick search. You'll get results from info about their exhausts to motor builds etc.

Glad Tym is doing well in the Porsche world. Used some of his products/builds back in the DSM world quite a few years ago!

Amanda, you have actually done business with them, that is one up on most on this forum, You know more than most you sare asking of. But if you look at the top 60-130 list, you will see one of their cars in the top 10

Back in the day, Tym was the brains behind Buschur Racing. At first they were pioneers with using newer and larger Mitsuibishi turbos on DSMs. Custom piping, motor setups, etc. Personally, I liked the technology - but customer service really was lacking. After looking at the photos and some of the 997 threads, it looks like Tym is doing the same thing with Porsches as he did with DSMs long ago. Most Porsche owners don't really have that mentality, so I'm interested how well it was being adopted in the community. I guess the numbers speak for themselves now

TYM showed EVERYONE what can be done with a 997 Turbo.
No one else has even come close with that platform.
From the pics that I have seen (both on here and what Tym sent me),
his work is second to none in terms of fit, finish, and drivablilty.
He is more "custom" like the new EVOMS, Protomotive, etc.
Good stuff he has done!

Its running well -- just that CEL that I'm not sure is resolved yet. Haven't gotten any feedback in forums what options there are to disable the check for the Cat. Conv. in the ECU if I wanted to go straight through on the exhaust.

I'm ready for some runs! Just can't do Saturday morning/early afternoon because of my rescue group I volunteer with.
