Hi! my brother is going to Miami next week...
who knows where he can buy me for a 997S the Evoms SC?

Thanks!

 

Order it over the internet and have it shipped to your brother's address in Miami.

 

u might wanna check with Dynamic Turbos...or go to EVO wed site just to the right on this very forum site, and call them. I believe they do not have an installer in Miami, but they will ship anywhere.

 

I would recommend Porsche of Naples to have the install done (Justin Lane 239-280-5100). They did a great job with my 997 and are listed as one of only two authorized Evo Super Charger installers in Florida. The other one is Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota. Porsche of Naples alos gave me a free loaner Cayenne while they did the install. It was only an extra 40 mile drive for me in Broward County than going to Champion or the Collection in Miami

 

Thanks guys!!!!!

 

Suncoast Porsche has done many of these installs. I would drive the extra hour from Naples to have them do it.

 

last time i talked to them suncoast had never installed a super charger in a 997....only in 996's

 

I am sure the difference in SC install is insignificant for the 996 to 997.

 

Completely different install in a 997 than a 996 especially a 997 tiptronic

 

how hard is the install of the SC?

 

This is a quoted reply to another thread that talks about the EVO SC installation on my TIP 997. While it may or may not apply to your installation, my recommendation is to speak with several shops as I did. Then go with the one that you feel the most comfortable with.


The 3.8 TIP S/C kit is very new according to Mike at EVO, and this car and 2 other cars are the first installations. When we were installing it there were a few minor snags and it did require an extra 5 hours of work time.

(1) The injector software was not yet completed at the beginning of the install, but arrived in my e-mail just as we ended the mechanical installation.

(2) The center radiator had to be removed and replaced with the radiator for the supercharger. The main vehicle radiators had to be capped off using genuine Porsche radiator plugs and clamps. The supercharger radiator would not fit behind the bumper with the factory center radiator due to depth clearance.

(3) The water pump for the supercharger would not fit in EVO's recommended mounting place. (on the cross member under the engine and next to the transmission) The TIP transmission was too large to accomidate the electric water pump in it's usual spot. We manufactured a metal bracket that allowed us to mount the water pump at an angle and slightly raised off the crossmember. It is sturdy, secure and safe.

(4) It is difficult to get an accurate DYNO reading on the TIP cars due to drivetrain lag. I would say with an educated guess that the TIP cars are about 15HP less at the flywheel that the manual cars. The TIP in manual mode is more accurate than in automatic mode. The learning function of the transmission in automatic mode will need to be completely re-taught after the installation.

Overall, this installation went very smooth and EVO offered excellent support with this unique installation. The car is a blast to drive and accelerates quickly in all gears.
