So just a reminder as it has already been said - Panamera is a big sedan. Now that's out of the way, they are awesome and surprise a lot of cars at the track, 1/4 or 1/2.
They havent been toyed with a great deal, so a lot has to be custom made outside of a filter, downpipes, full exhaust, plenum, tune. There arent bolt on turbos that make sense because they are built into each manifold, so for really big power you have to go full custom. There are places that do bigger turbos on the built in manifold for 20k... or you could have the stock turbos rebuilt to 20t or 21t.
Another challenge is pdk only holds so much power. I havent hit that point yet and havent seen a definitive point of hp that it starts to slip, but it does... there are rebuild kits out there too, to make it stronger.
Diverter valves will allow you to up springs to hold boost for longer. CSF does aftermarket intercoolers. Im currently toying with coil packs for ignition.
All in all, they are amazing cars and tremendously underrated as EVERYONE, on here or not, will tell you. Good luck
Fwiw I am at about 680hp currently, but soon to break the 700s with the goal to eventually break past 850.

EDITED the below. Rhonda and Dragan (one of the tuners) had been more then helpful in entertaining my silly theories on why my car was running slow (turned out to be low grade fuel). FVD provides a reliable and no glitch software that makes your car move. They also offer 10% off any purchase as a loyalty which is also pretty nice.
My ~#'s with Tune and BMC filter (depending on how much fuel in the car, etc.)
1/4- 11.6-11.7 at 121-123
60-130- 9.4-9.6....

That’s disappointing. .
Just as a FYI if I did this again i would use a company that has direct support stateside.
I purchased an FVD tune a few weeks ago and the tune is now excellent but the support was lacking. A day after I had tuned the car I had an issue with my newly replaced (stock) throttle body limiting boost. I thought flashing the car back to stock and then reflash the car would fix the issue. During the flash back to stock, my battery voltage apparently dipped, dropping the DME from finishing writing the stock file. This put my car in “service mode” (dash lights up, all lights on, but car will NOT start) and the MyGenius went into recovery mode. I panicked and contacted support. After sending them the logs, support determined that based on the logs, the voltage dip caused the issue and they would have to bench flash the car back to stock. So I removed the DME, sent to Germany, where they bench flashed the stock file back onto the DME, and then shipped the DME back to me (all out of my pocket ~$300). Got it back, stock file was on the DME, re installed, car was back to stock and boosting fine.
I drove the car for a day before attempting to reflash the car. When I went to reflash, I plugged in the MyGenius, and the device still was in “recovery” mode. I emailed support about this issue, where i was then advised that I must either pay 150 euros to reset the MyGenius or go through the recovery process. Given this answer I went ahead and tried to get the device out of recovery mode and the retune the car. The device went through the recovery process and AGAIN failed, putting the car into a state of “service mode.” I was furious, emailed both support and called the sales rep and left a VM. When support answered they first said it was the voltage again and then tried to AGAIN have me ship the DME to Germany. This time I insisted and made support reset the MyGenius. Finally when they did, I loaded the tuned file into the car without issue. After this, I asked if maybe the file had been corrupted by the MyGenius device, never got an answer, nor did the sales rep ever bother calling or following up to see if my car was ok.
Again, i am very happy with the tune, just not very happy with the support I received. The first time could have been entirely my fault (based on the logs), but between the language barriers, difference time zones, cost and shipping, and my car simply being out of commission, a closer by facility may just be the headache free way.

. It’s kinda thrown a little monkey is everyone’s wrench but who knows. All I know is that their decatt is half the cost of fabspeeds And I doubt fabspeed is 2 times better

well I just ordered their decatt downpipe and tune. I hope that I have no issues and that they learn from your experience. I’m gonna do a good video of the downpipe tune install and then record before and after exhaust note videos. Got all the gear coming and should arrive in the next couple weeks! If I have issues with any of it I’ll capture on video. Hopefully that will wake them up to better customer service. It may also have something to do with this minor issue know as covid that’s going around. It’s kinda thrown a little monkey is everyone’s wrench but who knows.

I just added the FVD cat less pipes to my already FVD tuned PTT with IPD, and man it sounds good! I have PSE already but am very happy with the sounds. It just pulled a CEL light (yes I put on the new tune) so I will have to pull codes tomorrow to see what it is.
Very happy with FVD so far
