Well, Markski (911 Tuning) and Todd (Protomotive) are taking care of me. Who else right? 24/18s, intercoolers, hoses, injectors, turbo inlet ducts, coil packs, plugs, Forge DVs, and a couple of other small improvements. Markski is the most honest straight forward tuner/enthusiast/owner I have ever spoken to and had the pleasure of working with. A genuine guy who deals with impatient car owners (who me?). Anyway, the car should be ready next week (Thursday?). I can't wait.

Atspeed motorsports is doing the install, check out the facility, it's pristine. I know the owner (former Speed World Challenge GT driver) and the technician doing the work, truly a craftsman. I'll post my review when I get her back on the road. It's the red Gt2 on the link.

Congratulations and welcome to the GT2 Club !! The Car looks phenomenal; I have always loved the red GT2.

Get your suspension dialed in... It will seriously change the way the Car works for you...

I think you are going to be VERY impressed with it by the time all the work is finished and you get it back..

Thanks, but I've been a member of the Gt2 club since '06. Now I'm a member of the moderately modified Gt2 club.

The Red GT2s reallllly POP for some reason. There was one for sale with a painted red center console and seat backs which was phenomenal. I don't even particularly like red, hah.

Congrats, too. Should be an awesome street setup.

Beautiful car and congrats on the new mods. That's going to be a blast to drive!

Hope you're also in the market for a new clutch!

Enjoy!

I already have the clutch. Thanks. It's the 6th clutch down. GMG sport clutch. http://www.gmgracing.com/porsche_drivetrain.shtml My car isn't a virgin, it had a flash, Europipe II, so I'm hoping for about another 50 horsepower to the wheels. I think the biggest improvement with the 24/18s is that the power comes on sooner and stays constant throughout the rpm band. My car before this modification peaked at 506 rwhp (6700 rpm), I think now it will hit 550 rwhp at 4000 and pretty much stay there. I'll know for sure next week.
