New owner of an 08 997 TT TIP

Love the car so far... now looking for suggestions on the best and most cost effective upgrades available, while retaining driveability and reliability...

There seems to be a wide variety of performance gains being shown by various people. For example the guy with just softronic and intakes vbox results are as good as or better than people with much more in mods..

Thanks in advance...

Your first and most inexpensive mod should be to ditch the yellow side markers for clears

And welcome to the wonderful world of Porsche

If your looking for some more power while retaining stock like driveability and reliability you should look into an APR flash. By far the best bang for the buck especially for tip cars. Stock like driveability but with more power of course and the ability to switch back to stock at anytime on the fly or higher octane programs.


Feel free to email for some more information.

Welcome to the club

Only mod it you feel like it's necessary and if you have some spare change. The turbo is already extremely fast for the streets, mods will only bring you a more exciting car, a faster car, a better looking car, and a more unique car.


All kidding aside, enjoy the car!

I love the car so far, but it is bit too slow for me stock.. I saw the APR results which seem quite good, also the Softronic results with just intake were fantastic too. Just worried that either of the two havent been tested to the degree that say EVOMS has been.
