Kevin is located in seattle . what is the 550 hp package... its not the stage 5 for sure...

 

The best way to contact Kevin is via email. Kevin@ultimatemotorwerks.com. He's also going to be the only US Sportec dealer.

 

I had spoken to Brandywine Porsche in PA a few weeks back looking for some parts. They told me at the time that they were in the process of becoming a Sportec dealer (at least for bodywork which is what i was after). Don't know if they will carry engine stuff.

 

Contact Markski for his setup, i GUARENTEE for the price nothing else could come close for the power he was pulling out!

 

I dont want that loud of an exhaust though.

 

So put the Evo exhaust on which is a modified stock exhaust

 

I would call MARSKI and buy his kit. It is a great bang for a little buck. After all, face the fact that you WILL get the speed bug and eventually want 600hp (I am definetly not the one to talk about speed bugs!!). Why spend some money now for a small upgrade and then more money later to get 600hp??? I would just install Markski's kit and be done (at least for a short time).
Just my 2c

Good luck with your decision..

Remus is definitely the best exhaust in terms of being slightly quieter. It does not get the credit it deserves. Markski has a great deal going.

 

Marski 's turbos built by Kevin is second to none.

 

If you modify your motor and the motor blows, it will not be covered by your warranty. You can sometimes negotiate some kind of backup with your tuner- some are also engine builders- but be fair and pay something for it and get it in writing. Most good tuners will back their work. Speed Gallery is a reputable company. Evolution, ImagineAuto and Protomotive are good too. Of course so is Ruf and Cargraphics.

Right now the search function on this forum is down, but I recommend that you search or look for posts on Orton Performance, 969 Motorsports, Neil, etc. before buying anything from the US PSI representatives so that you can make an informed decision.

If you're looking for reputable and don't mind doing footwork, you may be able to save a few bucks doing an Upsolute chip with exhaust +/- Kevin's turbos. If you have an X50 car, it is easier to get to 600hp without major cash outlays.

 

Good advice about the warranty aj996tt. However, in all fairness to Neil and Orton Performance I do want to share my observation and experience. First, I did a lot of research before choosing a tuner and I came across a lot of good feedback for Orton along with some concerning issues. But in each case that there was something of concern it seemed to relate to something done in conjunction with 969. I don't know the connection between the two but from the web sites it looks like 969 buys parts from Orton who is the exclusive PSI distributor in the US. But everyone who dealt directly with Neil at Orton had a good experience. Based on this research I entrusted my car with Neil and I could not be more pleased. In fact, what started as modifications to my TT has grown into him working on my Carrera and at this moment he is working on my Boxster S installing a B&M shifter and exhaust.

All of that said, my personal experience with Neil and Orton Performance has been first rate all of the way. Sorry to get off topic of the thread...

 

You're not off topic at all. As I said, informed decision, without intent to bash Neil. I've only spoken to Neil once on the phone about 3-4 years ago when he was with Roock- he seemed nice enough, but having never done business with him, I'm certainly not trying to hurt his credibility. He is one of many tuners out there, and I'd strongly suggest anyone consider the potential consequences when making modifications to a $120K+ car.

 

Evoms.com is one of the best and Todd takes care of his customers. I am one of them!

 

Agreed, i eventually will also be running that setup, full boost in first through all gears, mmmmm!
