The number jumping out in my head is 117mph ........ He did say he was having a few issue when he got there. Car definitely surprised the hell out of me though. When he told me I didn't even believe it haha ......... then he popped the hood.

Maybe this is my answer. He specifically mentions the 3-4th gear shift. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...n-upgrade.html

Based on how BBQ'd that trans was when I originally got it from Todd, I'd say he's makin' a ton of power.

Todd and I just talked about this. From the video it sounds like Porsche does not lift the throttle (by wire) or cut boost during the shifts. It seems that he is at (or beyond) the limits of what the 4th gear applied clutch pack can handle while maintianing full engine output during the shift. In addition, I wouldn't say that the 2-3 sounded crisp either. The 4th gear pack is painfully small at less than 5" in diameter and it uses all its length up in the clutch stack. I'd try the TCU upgrade before pulling the trans back apart.

and by a ton, you mean stock 6 speed power?
(sorry Todd, he put it out there...had to swing...)

Thanks Mark, I'm sure we will get it sorted and I'll go out and kick TTboost's ***. Right?
