He does daily the car but not far. He would mainly put it on E85 when hes knows hes going to run it hard so map changing via a laptop would not be an issue
Down the road he plans on intercoolers and Y pipe but just cant do it yet

not for me.. bros got a 997T and he is thinking of going to do a VTG upgrade. (only current mod is turbo back straight pipe and tune) Im pushing him to tune it with E85 and 93 if that's possible. I know my car has multiple maps i can run depending on fuel but im not familiar with the porsche tuning.

I have to agree with Tiago on this one Lou. In our experience, a stock 480 Crank HP turbo will put down about 420-430 at the wheels, depending on the type of dyno used. With a good exhaust system and ECU flash, you would see approximately 70-80 hp at the wheels increase, which puts you around 500 at the wheels.
From there, intercoolers, y-pipes, larger TB and plenum will yield nominal increases in power and definite improvements in consistency, but nothing close to 600 at the wheels, I just don't think that's possible.
Our 65mm Billet VTG's, which are probably the largest flowing 65mm VTG's out there, will yield 600 at the wheels on pump gas, a little more on race fuel. To get that without turbos is just not possible. The stock turbos just can't possibly flow that much.

How about an Aquamist Meth system 
; since were talking modded VTGs that are off the shelf- essentially a bolt on. 
Just depends how far you want to go..- CMS offers a 68mm VTG kit is rated @495hp per turbo and with enough fueling your quickly at the limit of this motor

Todd gives you 93Oct tune and a E85 tune, you need to flash to tune based on fuel being used.

Hello Gents... I am wondering what a 997.1TT is capable of with bolt on parts without changing the turbos or any involving modifications.
For instance, I am looking for what can this car do with the following parts:
- Exhaust
- Tune
- Headers
- Intake
- Other minor things that can increase the power potential without breaking the bank.
Please pardon me if this topic has been discussed many many times before ... I searched and didn't come across the information I am looking for.
Thank you much in advance for your information.
