Topspeed Motorsports tuned my 997.1 TT to 677whp
Well it all started when I purchased my 2007 997.1TT in late November. It was totally stock and I knew that wouldn't last long, so I immediately went on the quest for more knowledge and researched for about 2 weeks before any modding took place.
In early December, I contacted Sam at ByDesignAuto to order a Kline 200 cell exhaust because I wanted to get the quietest exhaust possible. I had previously had two GTR's that were a little too loud for highway cruising. This Kline exhaust is perfect for me - if not a little too quiet!
About a week later, I contacted my friends at APR in Opelika, AL to get a flash to hold me over until Topspeed could get to my full build in mid January. I just got a standard 93 octane flash. APR's flash is arguably the best available. The car ran flawlessly. I recorded several 8.2X 60-130's on 0-0.5% decline. The car was very consistent and ran great, but I needed more... more power.
Topspeed Motorsports had previously done all of my work on both of my GTR's. I have had nothing but great customer service from them. They have even met me at the track to give on track support. Cicio and Doug have just been awesome, so of course they were the first ones I contacted once I was ready to mod. They have been overwhelmed with builds and were unable to get me in until two weeks ago.
We started out dynoing the APR flash and Kline exhaust to get a baseline. It made an impressive 523whp and 505wtq. Then TSM went to work adding a Sach's 2.5 Clutch, OEM flywheel, 1150cc injectors, 5 bar FPR, and Proto 63.5 VTG turbos. The real secret weapon though is Doug, the tuner at Topspeed Motorsports. His vast experience with the Bosch ECU in Lambo's, R8's, and 997 GT3RS's that he's tuned made him very comfortable taking on the task of my E85 setup. Doug was able to extract 677whp and 646wtq out of my stock motor car with just these very mild mods. He also extended the stock rev limiter to 7250 from 6750rpm which gave me an even longer powerband. I have yet to get an all out 60-130 run, but just my second attempt yielded a 6.01 on a 1.7% slope. I believe in simple setups to maintain reliability and durability. This is exactly what this car is all about. Here are some photos and videos:

Glad someone else believes in the virtue of dyno tuning and the quality of TopSpeed. Glad to see Doug is doing such good work
Did you happen to see my 911 there? It's the meteor gray one getting the big engine build.

I didn't see it, but I heard about it. I may get to that level one day.

...If you get the itch for more decibels let me know. I have 100cel and de-cat in stock.

great numbers, and your 60-130 is REALLY impressive. youre quicker than some big turbo guys !
two things i noticed. you need an LSD , BADLY.
at the 11sec mark your car gets wiggly. that slows you down, and is dangerous at higher speed. also, your hydraulic ramps on your wing is going. passenger side is deploying slower than the driver side. i think its something a shop can fix without needing to replace parts.

997 turbos don't come with LSDs?
