Warning to All 996TT and GT2 owners

It will need to be proven as time progresses. The price tag is also pretty good in my eyes, 16k and you can be making 600+rwhp on a stock engine and muffler.

500rwhp on pump gas
600rwhp on race gas or methanol
The 671rwhp run was for testing, i dont think he will be giving it as a kit although he might (dont know for sure). Maybe he can offer 3 settings: pump, race gas, race gas+methanol. With power going 500rwhp-600rwhp-700rwhp. Ofcourse the last 2 should be used only sometimes (races). But im quite pleased with this and i think its a damn good deal. Basically a GT700-800 (
) M3 for 16k!!!

and what happens when Mr CA highway patrol trooper pulls over the M3 b/c of that pshhht sound? and pops the hood to see some turbos? and kindly asks Mr M3 to go to the nearest state ref?
that's why i like the 996tt more & more every day. the mods are 'stealth' - a CA trained police officer can not spot them. i'm guessing neither can the state ref but that's one i don't want to test

ok your talking stealth? of course a 996tt is stealth you can even reach your hand half way down because of how compact and hidden away it is. in my turbo all you hear are the wastegates opening and unless you throw a blow off valve on the m3 its not going to sounds like a 3000gt or a supra.

I would like to run one of these 600 rwhp stock internals. I am in Texas, is there one close by? My only requirement is that we run on good old Texas 93. If you protest that, then I should be allowed to upgrade to a full Protomotive 100 octane race package. I will still be on stock internals albeit at 675 rwhp.
I still call bul**** on the entire premise of this thread: That an M3 on stock internals can run w/a 996 on stock internals. Lets run and videotape it.
