Hello

I've owned my GT2 for a couple of years now but with working overseas quite a lot I've not had a chance to drive it much. Its only covered 6k miles from new. Now with having more time off I do and have covered 1000 miles in a week

I've recently been having a few mods done and with searching the internet I found EVPROMS has a 997 Turbo pulling out over 1000HP so they must know what they are doing. Anyway I used Regal Motorsport Southampton to re-map the car and fit a few parts for me and I'm really please with their service.

I've now got the bug to spend more cash on the GT2 and searched through the web to see if I can find where I can get the parts and which is best. Honestly though I have not got a clue which are good parts and who are the best people to deal with so I thought what better way to find out than to join a forum and hopefully meet some friends on the way.

To date I have completed the following but looking at a nice set of wheels and proper carbon parts. Also like the front fender extensions but not sure where to get these either.

Thanks and no doubt many discussions to come.

2009 GT2
Black
EVPROMS remap 720 BHP
Upgraded turbo pipes
GT3 pulley
Upgraded clutch
Sharkwerks exhaust
Upgraded engine mounts
Carbon wrapped bonnet, mirrors and turbo vents - until I can afford the real carbon

I had a few things done at the same time and the map so I cannot say on just the pulley. I was told using the smaller GT3 pulley makes the car rev sweeter

Very cool Chris (from a fellow Brit)... I bet the GT2s are a rarity in the UK. Thanks for running our exhaust

Yeah the exhaust sounds awesome, I wanted a little more rasp for a road going car as the standard is a little tame but not something load inside the car so I can listen to the tunes and the girlfriend doesn't moan and this is exactly what I got. Excellent..
There is a few GT2's kicking about but not many so a little different. Looking for a nice set of nice wheels next and after Christmas I'll get the carbon bits and maybe a few engine mods, car is awesome with the EVOMS, actually too damn fast dare I say it for these Gatzo and rozzer flooded UK roads..
