By your own admission, your car as tested produced 530 hp. Clearly there is still some room for improvement by adding larger VTG turbochargers, and staying within the capability of the PDK.

A flash is certainly a good starting point, but there definitely is some room left before you hit limit of the fuel system, which comes before the PDK limit.

So do you guys basically offer an entire kit with the the turbos, intercoolers, etc that comes with a tune as well ?

Random question, if on a scale of 1-10 the strength of the stock 997.1 engine was a 10, where would the 997.2 engine be?

Yes, if you're starting with a completely stock car, this would be your complete kit.

OP tune your stock turbo first..... then decide if you need even more power after that.... your post just doesn't make sense. Everyone knows exhaust & tune are the best way to start modding a turbo. Yet you haven't tried a tune and already want a bigger turbo kit
