Did you guys get any 0-60 times or qtr mile with the kit yet? these cars are lighter then stock turbos I would think it runs faster.

I ran last week in 95F with very high bar. in my non S 997 12.8 I am sure that kit will bring me in the high 11's. What do you think?

Best 1/4 I could run in my 997TT on high boost was 11.3 but at 135mph. All driver I am not a launcher.

Nice would seem easier to buy a 996 TT, but looks great also with power upgrade is great.

Thanks,

I am familiar with the 996TT price point, but the 997 is a totally different animal, so I have to compare my car to a 997TT and then the price point is very favorable indeed.

What would the owner of the car benefit from for allowing you guys develop the turbo kit? Labor? Discounted price on the kit?

As Dan at Vivid Racing posted earlier in this thread, they will need a 'donor vehicle' to develop the first kit on a 997.2 (just like they did on mine for the 997.1).

In exhange, Dan will likely be making a deal on price, but you should discuss that with him directly and off-line

Sorry to hear about Vivid's loss. Mike sounded like a great man.

RIP

Does the Vivid Racing Kit come with Cats so that there are no problems with the normal inspections? These inspections are mandatory where I live and I am worried that I may fail such exhaust tests..

Thanks
