The modified VTGs look really nice to me. I don't know if I'd go for the big boy TIALs or not.

What kind of power are you looking for? Main use of car? (putting around town, sunday driver, track junkie, 1/4mile etc etc)

Pump gas or Race gas?

We've done quite a few GT2's lately. Here's a couple of the threads from those builds:

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...plete-now.html
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ing-shape.html

There's plenty of power to be had from the GT2 with bolt-on VTG turbo upgrades, anywhere from 675hp at the wheels on a stock engine, up to about 850 at the wheels on a built motor. Feel free to email or call any time.

I had no clue that a VTG turbo could be utilized on a 996tt. Any other details on the process and what is required?

I'm assuming he just posted in the wrong section, because the thread title says 997GT2.
