Here are a couple of the Vids Matt put together for his YouTube Channel. The first one with the ZO6 (my friend Johns car), he following me the whole time and he got some great footage of my car. Matt has a GT3 of his own but didn't bring it.
The Second one has my car in it a few times, including a nice WOT 1-2 shift to go with the "fast group" on Day one to the Dragon (at 3:18 or so).
Third is the actual vid of Matt starting his journey to the mountains (first vid he shot / uploaded)

Well, I gave in and ordered at TPC DCS Plug & Play module. I've not heard a negative thing about it and only very positive stuff. Can't wait to see what improvement over the stock PASM module it provides.
Thank you to Tom at TPC for answering all my questions and providing great customer service!!
For those considering it, here is how he explain how it works and makes the car even better.
"DSC works completely different from PASM controller.
PASM Normal mode is 20% stiffness, PASM Sport mode is 80% stiffness.
The middle range between 20% and 80% is not used even through often the middle range is desired.
DSC is fully active and works in ranges.
DSC Normal mode is a range of 5% to 100% stiffness, DSC Sport mode is a range of 20% to 100% stiffness.
DSC reads the g-force and vehicle speed data and command the stiffness to be appropriate for the situation.
The stock shocks with change to DSC commands at 10x per second.
This will give you better ride over bumps and GT3-like handling on twisty roads when driven enthusiastically to produce higher g-force.
Basically the harder you drive the stiffer the suspension gets. Driving leisurely will be a more comfortable ride than stock."

Now give it ESmotor treatment and make a monster hahahaha
Check out my build thread.

I've spoken to them and got a quote for tuning. Had to postpone it a bit to wait and see what my garage addition will cost me first.
Also considering a warranty also... But I know most warranties don't like tuned cars, so there's that decision also.

I received mine today and decided to do a crude little install video. Hope this helps for those not sure about it. It was really easy.
I'll know more about how I like it tmrw. I didn't get a chance to drive more than around the block today.

BTW, I just got back from an approximate 100 mile drive (city, highway, and some fairly curvy roads). It only took me just about 3-5 miles to feel the difference in city road driving. The ride is a good bit more compliant and smooth. This alone made this purchase worth it.
As soon as I threw it through the first hard curve, I knew it was better. The turn-in was very confidence inspiring and very smooth. The car seemed less twitchy and immediately felt settled. It felt flatter through all of the corners. Transitions from left to right and back were even more smooth and flat.
Needless to say, I'm Very happy with my purchase of the TPC DSC sport module. I hate to sound like a broke record, but for the money, it's hard to think of a better mod. I can't wait to do a true mountain run where I can get a good bit more aggressive than the roads I got on today. The track would be a real test, but that'll have to wait for now..

Here are some pics from yesterdays drive...... Stopped off to see my friend's new home build and had to do a little "off roading" lol
The other pics are off Richard Russell Scenic Hwy. at two different pull offs. This is one of my favor roads due to less traffic and nice consistent curves. Just a fun road to be on.

With AWD the car is so capable! haha
I am so jealous of seeing pictures and video of you in the mountains. I love it down that way. Such great roads in the mountains. I need to make it down that way more than once a year. As jealous as I am looking at them, keep posting them. I can live vicariously through you. hahaha Car looks great and modded well.

I just had my PDK serviced today. They gave me a 2018 718 Boxster S (PDK) as a loaner. Fun little car for sure.
The newer car PDK's do seem to be quicker / smother. Maybe it's just that it only had 3950 miles on it when I got it.
My car seems like it may be a tad smother after the service, but I'm just happy I had it done as "preventative".
I'm no where near the 60K miles but Porsche recommended the service at the 6 year mark.
