Suggestion

I have had the car for just over a year now, same length of time as i had the C4S, with the C4s it was time for a change but not with the Turbo, just love it, quite fancy a remap and a better exhaust tho.

Suggestion

I know you said the C4S has enough performance, and you may think you wont use the extra performance of the Turbo, but beleive you will.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've owned my black C4S for some time now and I'd promised myself next year (good old 2010) I would trade up to a 996TT. The thing is - I'm so pleased with the 4S in every aspect really; wide body looks, normally aspirated PSE sounds, big brakes, reasonable servicing costs, I have to ask myself do I still really want a TT? Probably, completeness answers that. An extra 100 horses is an obvious grin factor enhancer, but I must admit, the C4S has enough grunt for anything I would want to do in reality. Just wandering if anyone else on here has made the switch from 4S to TT (please comment) or just contemplated it?

POST 2Original post

there is a noticeable difference in power and the TT's can be tuned to even higher levels if required, so consider it that you could have up to another 150bhp

POST 3Original post

Nick - DO IT - the difference is night and day - S

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

23 years ago, I had a non-injection Sunburst Red 1981 XR3 Ford Escort and I traded that in for a 1 year old White Series 1 RS Turbo Custom. The point is, that was like night and day! I shall be looking very closely at TT's for sale next year, we will have to see :chin:

POST 5Original post

Hi, I owned a C4S for just over a year, i then changed to a Turbo and can honestly say it was the best thing i have ever done, the car is just fantastic. Servicing costs etc are not really any more than the C4S was although it can get through back tyres pretty quickly and the mpg isnt quite as good. I have had the car for just over a year now, same length of time as i had the C4S, with the C4s it was time for a change but not with the Turbo, just love it, quite fancy a remap and a better exhaust tho. I know you said the C4S has enough performance, and you may think you wont use the extra performance of the Turbo, but beleive you will. Make the change, it will be the best thing you ever did.

POST 6Original post

On the open road definitely, in town some say the NA engine is more fun.

POST 7Original post

Not a C4 'S', but a C4 to a Turbo... Awesome! Sound's not as good, but everything else is better (IMO). I also have the Tip (which I said I never would) and am loving it... Best car I've ever owned :thumb:
