Hello all!!

997.2TT PDK

Mods so far:
drop in BMC air filter
Speedtech 3" catless and mufflerless Exhaust
tune by Emre @ESmotor on 109 race fuel


car did 60 to 130mph in 6.8s ! I was impressed and asked for more :)


today I have received the following from Emre


1. do88 intercooler, Ypipe and inletpipes kit
2. IPD plenum
3. ESmotor custom headers
4. Aquamist meth kit
5. Cobb 3 bar MAP sensors
6. Forge DVs
7. DSC PASM module


I will be doing the build at home in the coming days and will be updating the thread accordingly


objective: fast, reliable and fun car for the street, a bit of track and roll racing

2. a set of 19" BBS FI

SUBSCRIBED!


Look forward to your results!

car is going to a monster! ever thought about an upgraded fuel system? might help with delivery fuel for even more power. I heard the pdk has to be able to handle the power tho. maybe tune helps.

Thanks guys.


I'll try to document and post something every one or two nights .

Best of luck .. You will have fast car for sure :)

All the best bro your car will be a beast specially that ESMotor is taking care of it 💪🏼💪🏼

Ok
so today I was just warming up .

I'll post few pictures and observations . later on I will update and format properly .


what's done:

1. removed bumper
2. removed airbox
3. removed Ypipe
4. removed throttle body
5. removed plenum
6. removed passenger side exhaust headers

7. installed passenger side headers: this side is the easy side due to the shape of the exhaust turbo flange. one extra step I had to do is open the bolts of the oil line from the oil pan and turbo and the mounting . allow me to flex the oil line in order to rotate the OEM exhaust headers to be removed . then installed the new headers easily. they are exact fit :)
