Any 997 turbo owners going to upgrade turbos?

I know Evolution Motorsports and Awe Tuning are working on power systems with new variable vane turbos producing 700+ horespower. Is any owner of a 997 turbo going to buy this type of system? I am interested in your opinions on the subject matter.

boardwalk is taking a 2008 turbo and doing all kinds of mods to it like putting GT3 suspension and getting the car to 550-620hp range... this will be interesting

Pretty certain that I will be changing up. Then agian, if I can buy a decent used car to play with for the same $$ it will be a tough decision!

OK - I know it's just semantics but I (and others) are trying to find out who has performance upgrades that actually change or upgrade the turbos not the turbo car via ECU, exhaust, etc. Your windfall looks great but I don't see that the turbos were upgraded.

Bill, not exactly the same thing.

We only put a chip and exhaust on your car. You have the 600hp kit.

These guys are talking about all new turbos. You should come down and take a spin in our car. We worked with Borg Warner on larger modified VTG turbos. It's our 700hp kit.

Car is so fast it will bend your brain...
