i.e 6,750 rpm ? God knows I want my 996 TT Tip to reve to 7,500 rpm is this possible by reprograming the ECU alone ?

I know the variable vane technology gets it off the line quicker

 

Yes, it is possible to raise the redline of your 996tt. It is also a good way to weaken and bend your stock rods.

 

7500 is probably too high on stock internals but 7000revs is generally accepted as safe to run even for prolonged periods of time.

 

I don't think the valve train is good for much over 7000.

 

Before we bent all six rods we consistently made maximum hp at 7500. The rods were the first thing to go. No issues with the valve train, but that isn't to say problems could have been on the horizon.

As for 7000 being safe, I would agree with that.

 

 

The computer records over-revs permanently. I have seen people on board and would suspect any savvy buyers walk away from cars that have siginificant over-rev time recorded (and for good reason).

Would a tip hold revs to 7500 anyways?
