about to order a y pipe for the turbo
Nice dude. Yea we r on the same page for the most part. How do u like the lugs? Was reading about them may have to order some. I'm putting my old lexani wheels off my 4s for now want some multi piece ones later as far as turbos. Well we shall see down the road
So I searched and gambella panamera turbo has only 690 hp and used 22 inch wheel with a total weight of 2250 kg ...
So decreasing a little weight maybe with hre 20 inch and toyo r888 , porsche ceramic brakes that would take a lot of weight from the car ..
Fvd stage 4 is the maximum you can go its total cost is 24k 730 hp and 900nm torque
It consist of :
Kit Includes: FVD Panamera® Turbo Level 4 software, "Brombacher" Sport Exhaust system with valves, Turbo S intake manifold, FVD 720 Turbos and a BMC sport filter.
In my opinion you dont really need turbo S intake manifold (it gains no more than real 20hp ) , so carbon 3inch ypipe with turbo 78 mm manifold is enough.
Turbos alone are 11k.. So fvd tune + full exhaust (which you all have ) + ypipe cf + bmc filter + and a tune to limit torque to 900nm and hp in a point when it doesnt go in limp mode
There is a really good thread in here with these mods showing 750hp+ and how the owner detuned torque at 900nm and 730 to keep pdk 'safe'

Titanium lug bolts are on their way... They will save about 1/2 lb per wheel (total of 2 lbs unsprung)... Will let you know once they arrive

I'll might try to call champion this week to see if they have any suggestions related to the PDK as it looks like right now the only alternative is to limit the tune to under 955 nm / 704 lb tq.
Agree- seems to really optimize a stage 4 / fvd turbos upgrade, this is key... I'm leaning towards probably sticking with the stock turbos if the tune would need to be a limited tune geared around pdk
I think to spend 10k on turbos. I'll stick with factory turbos. And just squeeze what I can out of this. Rather not push pdk too far. Besides a 600 plus hp daily driver is good for me
The clutches are wet type units which cant make upgrading discs easy.
So this venture hasn't work out well for me... I've been waiting for quite a while with delay after delay for this agency power Y pipe and just received this notice from the supplier:
"Unfortunately, Agency Power did not receive the new units on Friday as expected. It appears there is a problem with the mold. They are in the process of retooling and should have some new units in about 1-2 months.
Your order has been cancelled and will refund your payment shortly.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I apologize for how this has turned out."
Has anyone else had issues with their Y-pipes (cancelled / fitment or check eng light issue?) Wonder if agency power wants to address this?
Yea I got mine and no check light at all. And I can feel the difference heard they may be changing the carbon one a bit. I'd go stainless pipe if it's gonna take that long. But I like it
