I guess having a 8second LSx car prior to the Porsche didn't help me with it being slow! LOL!

Sh*t...Powell, I'm trying to help our economy grow. One Mod at a time

Let me know if you have any questions regarding Turbo upgrades!

Sounds good, I'll keep you guys in mind. Thanks

Are you referring to a silicone boost hose kit?

Probably the most interesting test point, done on a 730hp 997: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post3157749

The blue line is a very popular/well respected aftermarket IC which is already doing a bit better than the stock 996/997.1 coolers.

HI,No...The intercoolers themselves have a larger diameter openining on both sides of them,,,So,then the hoses that come with them or needed to work with them are a bigger dia. and then the other end is the stock size diameter., that come from the turbo and the other into the Y pipe...

Thread resurrection!!!!!
Well, after a lot of back n forth, thread upon thread...With the help of all you addicts and enthusiasts, I pulled the trigger on my first setup !!

Where is Powell....I should have listened to you. Now that I'm done with some Engine work, my tires are balding, I need a new alignment + new rear rubber, and now I'm shopping for race gas...blah blah blah lol. My wallet is doomed.

Earl - I pulled the trigger on the GT2rs coolers. I haven't done any extensive data logging but I have confidence in your findings.

Oh, I did indeed do the custom stereo as well! I may need to ditch my GT3 door panels because I have no mid level sound from my coax fronts and rears. Only live once right!!!
