Congrats! It is pretty amazing how quickly these tuners are boosting the 997 tt to 650 hp! To go anymore will probably require different turbo's but I am sure they are already working on that!
Have fun!

Any info on emmisions? Wondering if it would pass the CA tailpipe test or whatever they do nowadays - I usually dont keep cars long enough to stress about it but the Turbo is a keeper.

It's been less than 24 hours and I already have my first hooligan story: I took a couple of my coworkers out for a quick 'spin around the block in the new beastie. We did a series of 1st- and 2nd-gear pulls. On the last pass I turned left on to the main road (2 lanes, no side streets, 35 MPH), ran up through 1st and 2nd, braked down to 40, looked up... and saw the 2 motorcycle cops parked on the other side of the road 
We pulled back into the parking lot, the cop pulled up behind me, asked to see license and registration, and then uttered the following words:
"I know this is a *****in fast car; I just clocked you at 0-68 mph in 3.5 seconds. Please try to keep it down while we're around."
... and let me off with a warning!
My coworkers were giggling hysterically, and my reputation as a hooligan was suitably enhanced. I love this car!!

Come to think of it, we need a Bay Area Dyno Day !! Who else would be interested?

i'd also be interested in doing a few friendly highway runs w/ proper support (re: someone up ahead that can scout for cops...)
when do you hit full boost? (and what is it?)
