This 2011 basalt black on black Panamera Turbo came into us for a couple of routine and choice modifications. On tap was the EVOMSit power upgrade module as well as the TechArt PDK paddle conversion.

First up is the installation of the EVOMSit plug-in module which installs simply into the engine bay:

Removing the wheel and performing the wiring and conversion:


And installed with the up/down paddle shift kit:

Armed with an additional 50-80hp (mode dependent) this Panamera TT is ready to head home:




In terms of performance and driftbox data here's an interesting set of parameters that EVOMS deduced from their data:

 

I am very niave about this but why do magazines like (road&track, car&driver,motortrend) show much better 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4mile times then we get at the drag strip or when using our V-box's. For example the PTT got 3.3sec to 60 in Road&track mag and 1/4 mile in 11.3, but your texas mile times are more then 1 second slower. So what gives, when I see 60mph times in magazines should I not believe them anymore. Cant blame the driver because its hard to mess up launch control.

The same thing goes for the 911 TT's which are 2.6 for the TTS and 2.9 for TT in the mags but when guys here are posting their results they are usually about 1 sec slower.

 

anyone know of an installer in the chicago area that could install the techart paddle conversion on a panamera?

 

cvprez, there a place in addison that could do it. pm me for details

 

You would think different conditions, track altitude etc.. but thats not that much of a factor with a turbo car. But yeh, nobody's results have approached what the mags did, reminds me of the FGT when it came out trapping over 130+ in the 1/4, which far as I know nobody was able to hit even close to in stock form, and even test done after didn't show those times again..... can you say "ringers" lol

 

Toshii - I don't have enough posts to PM anyone, if you could PM me an e-mail address or details I can respond that way - Thanks

 

lol same here. whats ur email?

 

We've got more units available to ship for those that are interested

 

Rather not post an e-mail here, so I guess I'll have to wait to wait till I get enough posts to PM you. Shark - what does the kit run and roughly how much time is need for install?

 

Hi cvprez, we do not charge for the installation of the EVOMSit power upgrade. It really only takes about 5 minutes to do. We have sent it all around the world as well since we have instructions etc.. that make it so simple. It's really a case of plug/un-plug....
