The kit was recently installed so we put it on the dyno to make a few pulls.
Leading evidence: 'Install so we put it' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Install so we put it' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

The reliability will remain like your factory car if you service the car normally (oil changes every 5,000 miles etc.)

With only 4 psi of boost have you compared running no Intercoolers at all with a water cooled CHRA with a 180 T stat?

Do you have any long-term test mules with 100k+ miles on them with a combination of street and track driving?

Would be nice if they used stock tips to keep the factory look, and black hoses etc...
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.

It is a nice day here at TPC Racing. Warm weather, all of the bay doors open so we strapped down a 2000 996 with our TPC Racing Turbo Kit. The kit was recently installed so we put it on the dyno to make a few pulls. Very impressive power for a bolt-on kit!!

What's reliability like on these engines? Do you have any long-term test mules with 100k+ miles on them with a combination of street and track driving?
The reliability will remain close to factory. Turbos are the easiest on parts.
The clutch will last just as long as factory too. Toptronic life will be reduced but can be rebuilt for $500 so who cares about that.
The only thing I wanna know about this kit is for a street car with a rear mounted airto water Intercooler, how the intake temps are kept low at at what intercooler water temp the dyno run was made. If intake temps start to get hot after some spirited street driving the motor will want to detonate and the ECU will reduce timing to incredibly low numbers to the point the motor is not making much more power the stock.
Hopefully they will post some data on this.
The reliability will remain like your factory car if you service the car normally (oil changes every 5,000 miles etc.)
In regards to the intake temps, on all Porsche cars, the airbox is located in the engine compartment in the location where it has access to consistent stable airflow. Based on years of R&D and racing, both the engineers at Porsche and we have found this location to provide stable consistent cool airflow, even in racing conditions. There is a lot of airflow that goes over the deck lid of a 911. Temps are also held stable by the intercooler like in any Porsche turbo car like the GT2 and TT.
With only 4 psi of boost have you compared running no Intercoolers at all with a water cooled CHRA with a 180 T stat?
Would you sell the kit without Intercoolers setup?
I guess with a single turbo set up there just has to be some circuitous plumbing, especially the compressed air duct going from the turbo, across the back of the engine, to the intercooler on the other side. It looks complicated but my view is that this is not a bad spot for an intercooler. A 911 offers no better spot for a single intercooler (you can stick smaller, twin intercoolers into the fenders like RUF does). Pretty slick.
Lol, dude you crack me up... Why don't you shut your trap and stop posting irrelevant ****. Sounds like a plan to me...
Do you guys sell the kit without Intercoolers as an option? With only 4-6psi of boost and a water fed CHRA with a 180 t stat I'm not even sure a Intercoolers is needed at all the more I think about it. Can you bypass the Intercoolers and make a pull to see the intake temps? I have a customer looking for a setup...
Yeah there is the crack up, the shop you claim to own that custom builds turbo setups, with 20 years experience, is asking another shop to buy a custom built turbo setup off them. Your shop must be awesome lol
Our kit is designed with an intercooler that is there for efficiency. If there was no need for the intercooler with the 911 kit that we offer we would make a non intercooled kit as an option like we do with our Cayman kit. We also program the ECU and when we do, the intercooler is taken into account in the tuning. There has been years of R&D into this kit and it is a proven package the way we have it now.
