Stacy - on a serious note I'm sorry this has not worked out for you to this point. I am happy to hear though that TPC is refunding you the money until everything gets ironed out. That attests to their customer service and honesty. I to this day am in love with the aesthetics of your car. So much that I want a 997 cab as the next toy. Enjoy the car in good health my friend!

Unfortunately I have requested a refund for now......so the install you/me/us were "most interested in watching" will have to wait....

Stacy

P.S. Glad you are enjoying your kit....

I will literally cry if TPC stops producing these kits. I have an 06 and I will have a single turbo on it someday!

They won't give up........they have WAY to much time and money invested now!

PLUS I do believe Marathonbob has an '06 and his IS working GREAT!

Yeah there are a few post 05's running around so I am hoping my ECU is fine for the upgrade. Still a few months from making the plunge..

I encourage TPC to keep their chins up, their kit remains promising, and innovation takes time.

With the few conversations I have had with Mike Levitas (TPC owner)....there IS no way he will drop his chin and give up on this!
The guy has been a pioneer many times before......and with that it does take time to develop these kits....especially when you are retuning the ECU's.
On our phone conversations he is extremely optimistic about the kit!

I did hear a little secret today......and I do believe it was GOOD news about their kit!
BUT I do not have details......yet!

Unfortunately we have been experiencing a few draw backs in our development of the Single Turbo Conversion. It seems that some of the 997 ECUs are creating a challenge for Mike. We absolutely refuse to release a product to a customer that we do not feel meets our quality requirements. For those familiar with our Cayman/Boxster Turbo or our 996/997Turbo products, know the level of quality that we expect when adding or upgrading any FI system. We are by no means shelving this project, as we feel it is the future, and will be a fantastic tuning option for those seeking to extract the maximum performance from their Porsche 997.

I ask you guys for a little more patience. Sometimes the road through R&D is long and difficult, but if we just quit whenever we are faced with a new challenge, where would we be?

We will be keeping the forum updated as we have developments.

I hope you're giving Stacey a REALLY good deal 'cause he's doing a hell of a job promoting your product!!
Oh and a Birkin bag for Carol would be nice too.

Cheers,

Sid.

Hey Sid - I may be up in Montreal in October for a "Get Together" to frequent some of the "MUSEUMS". If you're around, would be great to meet a few 6speeders.....

There was no doubt u guys would fix the ecu issue promptly, but 450hp w/ 4.5il boost?? WOW!

perhaps 500+HP in the near future?? ^

graph looks great ! but why the lil dip at 6k rpm?
