My ‘09 TT just came back SharkWerks and Premier

The bottom line is the car is great. It was a pleasure working with such enthusiastic professionals.

Alex at SharkWerks added: EVOMSit ECU Tuning, EVOMS BRV’s, Cargraphics loud exhaust, Bilstein PASM-compatible coil-overs, and RSS sway bars. These are pretty standard 997TT mods with lots of great technical reviews, so I will just say that I think the car is remarkably better. If I had to pick just one or two of these for my car, it would be a tough decision because the whole package works so well together. I am extremely satisfied with SharkWerks. Alex spent significant time with me making sure that the mods corrected my perceived deficiencies without making the car too edgy to use as a daily driver. I would say it is dialed in perfectly for me.

While in Fremont, Premier Protective Films did a full custom Venture Shield wrap and 61% ceramic tint. The work these guys do is amazing! No seams, almost no visible lines, and perfect installation. Premier really went out of their way to assist me as an out-of-town customer.

I want to extend my gratitude to SharkWerks and Premier. I would definitely do it all again! Thanks.

Alex is as good as they come!
He goes the extra mile and he is the only one I will do aftermarket Porsche business with.
Sometime next week I will let Alex share with the biggest nightmare in the world and how well he dealt with it . My car has basically the came mods and I am very excited to drive her, enjoy it!

Hey Sparkhill, it was a real pleasure and I really like how that car was optioned... the yellow stitching etc... Makes one smile for sure! Thanks for driving down so far. The Cargraphic Sport just sounds right on these cars and totally liveable on the inside. Enjoy the power

The premier boys did a great job... Can't believe the whole car is wrapped Had to look twice!

Congrats! Our cars have similar mods except I haven't done an ECU mod yet. How do you like the EVOM ECU tune? Absolutely necessary?

And yes, Alex/Sharkwerks's reputation and knowledge are admirable.

Absolutely necessary? No. The 997TT is great out of the box.

Is the difference noticeable? Yes. I can't give the most technical review, but I would say the EVOMSit flash significantly improves the performance. I think the throttle-response is improved substantially at low RPM's and the entire power/torque increase is very noticeable without negatively affecting drivability. The full range of RPM's are smooth with no odd power dips or other bothersome issues I have experienced with other tuned turbo cars.

I have only driven the car on public roads so it is difficult to assess the full potential, but the car is wicked fast. First, second and third gear go by very, very quickly at full throttle.

I guess the only down-side is that it can be a bit unnerving throwing your new car engine warranty in the garbage. Reading your posts helped me decide to get the Bilsteins. Based on your attention to detail, I think you would be pretty happy with EVOMSit.
