I have head of replacing the TB on the Panamera to something bigger (I belive maybe the 997 turbo TB), but after reserach I haven’t really found any part numbers or write ups, has anyone else done this or know someone? I am looking for the basic concept of install like any other parts that need changed or maybe a part number so I make sure I find the right part. Thanks- mike

 

CTT or GT3 throttle are the ones I believe.

 

Has anyone done this mod? Should be plug and play right

 

Hey what up Mike! Ive done it and it worked out great. Make sur eyou get new bolts as well. This is the exact part number..... https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/por...SABEgIcZPD_BwE

You are going to have to sync the throttle body drive by wire through an icarsoft, piwis, or durametric pro(rent from ebay)..

 

Looks like a worthwhile upgrade, but it does not show compatibility w/ the Panamera Turbo unless I'm missing something.

What is a "TB?"

 

Throttle body.

 

I'm going to guess a larger TB, just by itself, won't affect performance. I would guess that one would need a different manifold and headers to take advantage of the increased airflow from a larger TB. Not to mention the need for some sort of tune.

 

Oh yea just looking for the extra Edge it’s a turbo spec but I’m looking to open it up in conjunction with the agency y pipe. I’ve honestly ran out of mods I can do to the panamera turbo, only thing left is the pdk, trans tune (which I am contemplating). And larger turbo upgrade. But don’t think I’ll be messing with the turbos maybe be another car to go crazy with but I don’t really want to let go of the panamera , so I’ll need some time to lay for both.

 

The cars do not have "headers" in the normal sense as the turbos are integrated into cast iron manifolds. I am not aware of a company offering an ECU program with a file for a specific TB. VR and/or FVD maybe offers it?

 

This is the best solution for Panamera too.

nice im woundering how much difference we can expect seeing that the main difference in the turbo and turbo S is the compressor wheels if I’m not mistaken. I’m about to say **** it and just go with some custom inter coolers and a new turbo set up.

 

Hey Mike! I got a great solution for you dude! Hit up ARD for a rebuild kit + 19t upgrade for the turbos..... and then these intercoolers are proven to work well...

and top it off with methanol injection.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/AEM-V2-One-...oAAOSwq19XC292

Great find on the manifold link at ECS! Greatly appreciated!

 

nice so those intercoolers are larger than oem?
