My Experience with Protomotive

We just finished my friend 997tt, we did all the work by Todd @ Protomotive, we sent the turbo's, ECU and TCU to do the job and then we installed the 4.5" IC's with protomotive exhaust. We got more than what we expected, imagine with the hot weather over here 47c and the IAT crossed the 65 degree the car did 0-62 mile in 3.1 by VBox with two passengers!!

I think with cold weather we cad do better and get better results.


Thank you very much Todd you deserve the respect and you are #1 in my book.

John,

Do you always use race fuel?
What mods do you have on your car right now?

This test was on pumpgas

I tried to do 0-300 but the problem is the heat, when i reached 240km/h the IAT was 78c and the boost droped to 1 bar so i didn't complet the run.

Just to make an idea how is the heat over here, now the time is 10:11 PM and the out side tempreture is 42c = 107F

I usually get 81 degrees iats at 6000 rpm in 4th which is about 245 , 250 i beleive? on a 44 degree day on stock intercoolers , my car has a similar setup than yours , so if your getting 78 iats on a 42 degree day at about 5900 rpm on 4th , this means that the 4.5 proto or awe intercoolers ( i dont know which one your using ) that is not much an improvment over stock @ 4th gear??????? where ambient flow is more important....

No, even with 3" coolers like AWE is it way better than stock, after modifing my car and still using stock cooler's the boost dropped very quick at hot days (in Novermber) which is coolder than now, then i switched to AWE and i never ever see drop in boost after that so there is an improvment.

Those days you will reach the 70c IAT very quick so if you have a car with 4.5 coolers and the other with stock coolers, the stock one will reach higher IAT quicker than the car with 4.5"
