Another 68mm Billet VTG Build -- GT2 !!
We normally have a constant stock of 65mm and 68mm Billet VTG turbos for the 997TT in order to reduce wait times for our customers. Well now GT2 owners can also take advantage of our "no-wait" turbo upgrades, since we're now stocking our 68mm GT2 Billet VTG upgrade as well!
So, on to the fun stuff. After spending a few weeks in his 997.1 Turbo Cab equipped with our full 68mm VTG turbo package, a customer of ours decided it was time to bring in his GT2 for some upgrades. Well....a few upgrades quickly turned into a full build! You can't have a tiptronic turbo cab that's faster then your GT2, right?? Everyone should have 2 700 whp 997's.
So here she is after arrival yesterday. The build will include our 68mm Billet VTG Turbo's, Champion exhaust manifolds, intercoolers, carbon y-pipe, GIAC programming, Tubi race exhaust, etc etc. Based on our last GT2 upgrade which used our 65mm Billet turbos (which made 688whp), we're expecting somewhere north of 700whp for this one.
Stay tuned, I'll update this post regularly with pictures, info, and dyno sheets as soon as I have them.

OK...here's a quick update. We strapped the GT2 to the dyno this afternoon to get some baseline numbers. Results were extremely consistent and pretty impressive considering this car is completely stock. No chip, no exhaust, nothing. Here's a quick video and dyno sheet.
Engine's being dropped right now...more updates tomorrow before the end of the day.

And......about an hour and a half later, engine's out.
Now the real fun begins. Stock parts come off tomorrow morning to make room for all the new go-fast stuff.

Are the 68 mm turbos the same ones you use one the 997 tt kit? Or is it special for a gt2. Is this new? I'm curious because I have your 68 mm turbo package on my gt2 that I bought in December. Is it outdated already....

The only thing that has changed is that they are tweaking the tune for more power!

997 GT2 with 65mm Billet Turbo Upgrade.
hehehe...I'm sure you've seen your fair share too.
I think this one came out in about an hour and a half, maybe a little less.

Not quite....this GT2 is actually the first one to receive our 68mm Turbos. The previous GT2 we built got our 65mm versions. That car made 688whp.
