Customer 997T VTG Build
Customer 997T VTG Build
Client came in to us with a very significant coolant leak, upon pressure testing it was determined the leak was coming for below the intake manifold. We could hear it but unfortunately was not visible. Next step we removed the engine and started disassembly to reach the various leaks on the coolant hoses (common). Got all new hoses and gaskets ordered as well as the metal upgrade from our friends at Sharkwerks. While the engine was out we discussed various power upgrades and put together a package feasible for the clients budget and determined to send out the turbos for the VTG upgrade as well as a fueling upgrade. We will be running a Clutch Masters clutch on the car with tuning in collaboration with our friends at European Performance Labs. Upon speaking with Tony @ EPL we were set on our way to make some power while "we're in there!" and the turbos are on their way to get rebuilt as we speak! Stay tuned!

Originally that was my plan and really wanted to but we had a set budget we couldn't go above. Next time for sure! Hope all is well Tom!
Everything is bolted back onto the car, injectors are in, coolant pipes are all taken care of, turbos are back on. Just waiting on the clutch/flywheel combo and then we will start buttoning it up further.

which brand VTGs did you go with?

Without giving away too many specs its a billet wheel with larger inducer (48mm). NO Turbo Lag.
