Yep, and they also have Silver badges for other Porsche models! Quality top notch and you can't find them anywhere else, or will take forever!!

In addition, they recover quicker than the OEM valves which allows better spool up after shifts.

This is more in preparation for the bigger power gains that are coming We'll do the dyno work shortly!

Who makes those diverter valves? Why wouldn't you want to have them vent to the atmosphere instead of back into the intake?
It won't be long now on the ECU
You don't want to run VTA style blow off valves on these modern cars... not unless you like stalling and poor driveability

Very helpful. Thank you!

Sorry for Crappy pics!

This is first set of wheels. 20" Forgestar F14 on stock tires.

HRE P40's 21 set going on after TechArt Kit put on Tuesday.

Will have Kirby do Photoshoot with both sets to see difference.

At dealership.

How do you feel about the chrome window trim? Have you thought about doing a matte black vinyl wrap on it if you plan on keeping the whole blacked out theme? Looks great man, darfvdr is definitely a fitting plate!
