Here's some good news - TPC Turbo

I know TPC's been getting some attention these days for the 2005 ECU challenges, but I thought I'd pass along a small but positive milestone.

I picked up my '06 997 C4 with TPC Turbo this spring from the gang at TPC Racing. Since then its run great. It's an absolute missile when I step on it, has a great exhaust sound and is comfortable enough for everyday cruising. When I bring people for spirited rides, they usually have an expression that you have after a scared-sh*tless roller coaster ride - they're traumatized but want to do it again!

But even before I got the turbo I had anxiety about getting it through an inspection. Here in Mass., we have California level exhaust inspections. This is the most stringent level in the United States. I was worried, as were many posters here, that it would fail the inspection. TPC assured me otherwise, but it was a source of worry.

Today I had my annual inspection completed and it passed without any issues!

So... I think worriers and doubters can remove that from their list of concerns.

Now, if I can just get past that angst about speeding tickets....


Bob

That is good news for TPC, I am sure they will figure out the problem. Like any manufacturing process, there is never 100% perfection.

As for you scaring people on a drive, perhaps it is you and not the car! I think you should take your car out for a HPDE.
