997 Turbo Question
Can't go wrong with Milltek. I have that in my Audi and love it. I personally think that there are better systems out there for the Turbo.
We both used a coilover system because springs will put additional wear on the OEM shocks and potentially cause a leaking issue.
Good call on the other mods. It's a sickness, this mod fever.

Mine came with a Evoms Stage 1 tune and a Fabspeed exhaust/200-cell cats. It's pretty loud but I've gotten compliments on the sound as I pull away. Sounds about as mean as a 3.6L flat 6 can sound. I've actually never driven or ridden in a stock 997TT so all I can say about the tune is the car feels amazing and is very drivable around town. Boost comes on quick and strong when you put your foot into it.
You guys think headers would help add much power? I think that's all I need to go to a Stage 2 tune. Stage 3 needs intercoolers I believe.

I've chickened out on the exhaust for now... going to do more "research" and see what I come up with. I don't want to have to do this more than once. I think I went through 4 exhausts on my NSX before I got it "right"... and honestly it still wasn't perfect lol.
Ordered my GT2 skirts (doing them in dry carbon to match my wing... I better make that appointment for clear bra now! lol) and a new thicker steering wheel from MAcarbon.. some suede, carbon, orange stuff, etc. That should be cool. Both are going to take 3-4 weeks to make so in the meantime I can look into other ways to blow my cash. (i also just dropped some coin on a set of cheap winter rims... I'll wait till next spring to get some nice HRE's or similar forged wheels). This car is so damn expensive to maintain! They should put a warning on it.
As long as everything gets shipped to my office, I'll stay married.

I'll check out that EVOM software... plus whatever else the local shops here are using. Definitely going to do the before/after dyno!
I heard the fabspeed V3 was still loud. I need to go hear one in person... no rush I guess.... it's almost winter anyhow, probably won't be using it quite as much as I would during the summer, plus there's no need for extra power when it's wet out.

I've got both so just shoot me a message when you're around Bellevue and want to hear it.
