This 2011 Turbo S was special ordered in "Ice Blue" color (one of my favorites from the 80s!) with a two tone interior as well. The first port of call for any Turbo car at SharkWerks usually entails a software upgrade in the form of the EVOMSit.

In she comes:


Straight over to the laptop:


While the new EVOMSit performance file is being created there's time to address a quick flaw:


That's better!


Uploading the new tune set for 91 octane:

One of the rare IBM Turbo Ses. So rare they made the folks ordering the color wait an extra 6 months and it was only available for one year.

Replaced with Ipanema Blue. Nothing says glamorous more then a slum of Rio de Janeiro...

Looks like you are uploading the file through the durametic. I thought you guys take the ECU out and bench flash?

Great shots. This is only the second convertible IBM soft top I've seen on this forum. One yesterday and now this one. Nothing for ages and whammy.

BTW I have an IBM coupe with the same interior but I have the centrelocks. I'll be interested to see what power increase she will now have when the mods have finished.

I know how you feel. Sometimes I get giddy like a little school girl waiting for the next 911 Turbo.

I was fitted for a 997.2 at the 2009 LA Auto Show by a German Tequipment dudes. We spent about 90 minutes configure the car. For sure one of Ty highlights of 2009.

Can't wait to do it again, and then follow it up with Euro delivery. For sure going to be a ,"TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS"!

I love that color too. I wish it wasn't so bright out yesterday as my camera skills (or lack of) weren't up to the task. It really looks so good in person...

Very cool indeed. Sorry I couldn't do it most justice as it was so bright outside. It's an amazing color in person.

Hey TT Chris, no we're using the EVOMSit suite to upload/download. We can benchflash or OBDII it etc...

Thanks and EVOMSit software adds 60hp/65tq.
