Agreed - My car was built yesterday with a MSRP of over 167,000.00 and now the mods. Before I found this forum, valve stem caps might have been the extent of my mods. Now it's damptronics, ecu, exhaust, steering wheel, ventureshield, wheels -where does it stop?

I'm already lowered w/ springs but may do Damptronics in the spring.

Yeah yeah yeah, I went against my mantra although by not much! Mine dropped only a TINY bit I swear.

Barrister - umm please don't post pics of sunshine and nice weather. Some northerners and many southeasterners do not appreciate it.

Nice TT by the way!

I haven't decided on the exhaust yet - tomorrow I have to get through the DMV conga line for an out-of-state purchase, and then have Supremepower install the P40's. I'm headed to Hong Kong early Sat morning, but still want to hear your AWE system.

Trying to learn how to embed images into my posts. Please excuse the experiment.

1)should i generally let the turbo warm up in the morning before taking it out? Basically, letting the car idle for a bit.
2)does any one have any pictures of their 997TT w/ aftermarket wheels but w/o changing the suspension? I plan to get a set of wheels, but i really prefer not to touchthe oem suspension. Hence, if the car looks okay riding on the oem suspension, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

You should be estatic at this point, congrats. I let my tt idle a minute when cold and shift at 3k until warm. Always take it easy a few miles before you park it and let it idle a minute before shut down.
