Yep, I was wrong.

Yep, I was wrong.

OK, 24/18s, inlet ducts, plenum, IC's, injectors, Forge DVs, are a huge difference over flashed k24s with an exhaust and 1 bar springs. You can feel the car is breathing freely, the spool comes on faster and stronger. My car has never sustained 1.2 bar, now it hits 1.2 bar at around 4500 rpm and moves to 1.3 bar at 5300 rpm and stays there. The car hits 1.3 bar in 2nd!!!!! On a Gt2, that will definitely cause the occasional pucker factor.

All of the forum members love to promote their tuners and I appreciate over the several years of being a member of this forum, learning who you can count on when you're going to invest thousands of dollars on your car and then hope that it runs good when you're done.

I am a perfectionist, almost obsessive in my daily life. It probably isn't healthy, but it is what it is. I will say this without reservation and I do it without any encouragement from anyone. Markski really gives a crap about your car, your wallet, and your apprehension. He doesn't let you spend money on modifications that are a small return for your money, he tells it like it is. He ANSWERS his phone, e-mail and texts. He ANSWERS your questions, and he even talked me off the ledge on a few occasions because the installer made some errors. Psychiatry visit no extra charge. His turn around time for the turbos, intercoolers, injectors, were a couple of days. I sent him my intercoolers with the brackets and the new ones came back ready to bolt on. It saved the tech a couple of hours of fooling around with the duct work and brackets. Did Markski have to do that?

I just picked up the car today after we flashed it and took it for a 70 mile plus ride. No radio and the windows up for a while and then down. Luckily, the weather is perfect, low 70s and no humidity. The car performed flawlessly, or should I say perfectly. I'm not sure but I think I can take a liter bike from a roll. I ran a 7.84; 60 to 130 before these modifications. It definitely feels like I can break 7 now. The speedometer jumped from 60 to 90 then bam 130. If you already have k24s this is by far the best modification you can do for the money.

Markski and Todd are what you want from a tuner, give them a strong consideration when you decide to make the move. Of course I think they are the best, but then everyone thinks their tuner is. It is really nice to see my Gt2 back in the garage, better than ever. Thanks to Marek (911 Tuning) and Todd (Protomotive), I will never consider selling my 2 again.

Hey Marek, I promise not to run her hard again until I get a couple of hundred miles under her belt. I only ran her at 1.3 boost a couple of times.

Mark drove 3 hours to get the right kind of race gas for my high boost tune a few days ago. I didn't ask for him to go way out of his way and kill half of his day for me but he did it anyway.

Have fun with your car. I know how fast 18g cars are.
