Sure is!


It's only been about a month since it arrived back home, but I've been having a blast with it. Can't stop driving it! It's got gobs of torque and powerband is huge. Big thanks to AMS for building a great turbo kit!

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but did you have the motor built as well?

Your car looks amazing!

At what boost did you make the 60-130mph in 5.97 seconds?

We have a Tiptronic car being finished up as we speak

We had planned on doing a product release about this today to introduce it and answer any questions you might have.

Stay tuned for that shortly.

Kit looks great, and AMS knows their stuff. Probably not an issue to most 997 owners but that price was for the kit and did say "Labor not included". Labor isn't cheap for an install like that.

Salmon is infamous around these parts
This looks amazing. I'd love to see how this compare to a Switzer P800. One of these two packages will likely be in my future.
