No Sport Button Remorse??
Just installed:
Proto VTG upgraded turbos Proto 5" Intercoolers Proto ECU Upgrade BMC Air Filter Sachs Clutch Upgrade No button, no problem, no remorse. :) I need more seat time and some street tuning but it's clear that I should have gone straight to this set-up from the beginning. My hat goes off to Todd K., a tuner's tuner. |
congrats David. So you're at 700hp now I guess.

Oooooh
nice one soooo tempting can't wait to hear your impressions after you've put on some miles did you keep your original turbos or were they exchanged? |
Proto is awesome....what a sick setup, Congrats.
PLEASE post some video of your car:p |
Awsome, agree SC is a gimmick esp if you're modding the car.

I'm glad I read this. Now I feel better about picking up a 07 997 without SC. I'm going to be modding anyway. Somewhere around 700hp.
Perfect! |

Is it possible to suggest the Turbo SC offering has a limited boost powerband simply to "conservatively" avoid excess heating issues..such as EGT keeping within stock VTG safety measures?..
I quite frankly still don't understand all that is happening with SC ON. It's a question really no one has thoroughly answered. I like PSM OFF because it dampens TC a bit. Gives me more driver input. I don't like pushing the sport button..in fact the only benefit I DO enjoy and noticeably can feel is the rear wheels bias...which leads me to believe a GT2 would be a perfect marriage for me. I think I may have to drive one yet again. |
Congrats on the car Dave, sounds awesome! I'm sure it's wicked fast so let's hope you can use it without getting busted:D. Enjoy in good health!
Now, on to the SC button. No remorse at all my end ;). Todd K has said right from the very beginning he can always set the tune file up in normal mode so it's identical to the Sports Chrono mode setting amongst other changes he can also tailor depending upon user wishes. So on that front it all comes down to user preference so no need for anyone with the dual modes to suffer from anything. All they need to do is get Todd to make the alterations to their individual liking (hear that Asher?). What needs to be remembered here with the "blessed" SC option is that there are other benefits beyond just the tune, the front to rear bias changes, and suspension and throttle changes. I know its not the end of the world for those that don't have the SC option but for those with it there should be no need for remorse at any time....just more pleasure ;). |
I like having the option of sport mode. Even though it's very driveable with SC turned on the throttle mapping makes it even easier in regular mode for in-town driving. Not a deal breaker by not having it of course.
Paul, I like it the way it is! BTW, did you get my last PM? Never heard back from you, but I did expect some comments! |
