Hey guys,

have been trying to find as much info as i can on single turbo setups for the 996tt but i am not really getting anywhere yet.

Has anyone done this or know of any one/workshop that has?


Thanks.

 

With as much power as can be made with twins, and how little room there is in there to really shift stuff around...and that the turbos really kinda just hang off the bottom of the car... I don't know why anyone would do it?

 

I am in agreement with vr4henry. EvoMS are doing anywhere from 550 to 1500+ HP on twins.

 

I agree with the guys that posted, but fyl TPC has done it I think. Check with them

 

just for conversation, why? seems like a lot of work?? fill us in..

 

I could not figure out a spot that made sense and fit under the bodywork. I wanted to use one big turbo. The 996-7 just dont have the room under the pumper that the older models have.

 

Tim we can always mount it up front like the good old Mustang days!

 

Talk about lag.......

 

you could always do a setup similar to how vivid does theres for the carerra.

 

i still dont see the benefit of one larger turbo rather then having two..

 

That turbo is way too small...

 

More efficient. But most likely not worth the effort.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies.

The vivid carera kit looks very interesting!

Like what Tim has said, I believe that one larger turbo will generally be more efficient than two turbo's, obviously on the flip side two smaller turbos should spool a bit faster. Although with todays technology, i doubt that lag would be that much different.

If im correct, two turbos rated at 500hp will spool a bit faster and have a more linear power curve, but one 1000hp turbo will be more efficient and see more power to the ground.

Also, I think it would be a really interesting project to do.

 

one man vs Porsche's engineers....


hmmm -

man: hello wheel
wheel: hey dude, nice to meet you!

 

Maybe it would go with the single (center) seat conversion I saw earlier? (just kidding)
