    Turbo

    Well the decision has been made. We will be installing a turbo and intercoolers on the Cayman in the weeks to come. The kit should arrive in a couple weeks.

    I will document the DIY install and post accordingly. We anticipate 490 HP in this car after the upgrade.

    This is going to be fun...

    James and I are going to tackle this at "The World Headquarters" we will be holding bench racing sessions as well

    I think we will have about 25hrs in the install obviously the lift and tools on hand will be a big help

    Been thinking about a turbo for the Gen Won. I'd be very interested to see how your install turns out. Should be bad ass when your done..

    Looks like we will finally have time to do the turbo install next week. If you find yourself near Denton feel free to stop by the shop and say hello

    I will post up as we make progress

    Well we jumped the gun and spent most of the day doing the install. I think we are about halfway home.

    I have to send the ECU off to TPC Monday and have the tune put on it. The kit is so far as promised pretty straight forward and the parts and pieces are well made.

    The stock air box and injector swap were the worst so far but the engine is in the middle.

    They have really good customer service IMHO. Even better than RPM outlet.....
