Good stuff wanted to share. Trying to decide if I want to sell her or keep her. I've got the bug for something crazier. If the only custom widebody and 700 hp panamera just like this in the world wasn't big enuff lol

Ben, very cool from them to post your build. Not fair when you already had a few mods which is where I have a couple questions.

It states that your baseline was 427hp, when that will be a complete stock beast. Yours had already the DP's and the Y-Pipe, so technically your baseline should've been around 440hp ish, or a tiny bit more.

So that will bring the ECU and TT upgrade to healthy 150hp or less if that is "your baseline" but the turbos are supposed to give you that much hp alone. I'm a little confused on their numbers, or maybe I'm missing something. Unless the ECU is holding back all the extra power on purpose.

I wanted to ask them, but I rather hear it from the horses mouth

 

Hey buddy. Baseline is around 404 ish. An ecu upgrade says 100 hp gain but that's at the motor in reality if I remember reading ut only gives like 60 hp. Y
pipe and full exhaust and dp prob gives 40 real hp. On vivid mustard Heartbreaker the car put down over 500 and with about 25 % loss that's about 708 or so at the engine. As you know the Trans is the kicker. I think we kept it in the safe zone. With the custom intercooler etc we could probably get a few more but until Dodson or who ever comes with a clutch upgrade that's good there. Wish we had the same setup as the cayenne these turbos should flow 800 or so
How's your build coming along btw

 

I could've sworn that baseline numbers were in the 420 ish, but at 20% drivetrain loss the number is in the low 400's so your DP's and intake were 20'ish WHP.
The reason that I ask is that I went with your same setup without the turbos, and I wanted to know where I should be at more or less.
So far I have the basic mods, EVOMSit module, DP and full catback, CF Y-Pipe, putting the diverter valves this weekend.
Someone has to come out with a reinforced PDK for these cars, and I bet yours will easily hit 750-800. At 700 your are being wayy conservative.
Enjoy it till the last minute until you decide for something else.

 

Yes I think we are alittle conservative she runs like a bat outta hell. Once we figure out the Trans we will slam on her. That's a fact. You have a great start for your setup it all works hand in hand. I had some custom intercooler made. Almost twice the size of stock. So I'm ready. Now u need to have ard build you some turbos. I have some stock ones that came on my car if you want em.

 

I had forgotten about the custom IC's, thats an easy extra 20-30 WHP right there, so yeah it's a shame that the tranny is holding these beasts.

The 997.2 PDK was reinforced by Champion if I'm not mistaken. Isnt it the same idea with our PDK? Have you found out from them? I'm curious.

 

I think there's more for the 997 out there I think Dodson is working more with that than the 970. Anyone else out there know the answer.
I Def would like to know.
