We got the kit tuned at 22psi on the street yesterday afternoon and the car is absolutely INSANE. Our spoolup concerns on the T4 housing were alleviated as it spins up VERY fast. I can only imagine the top end advantages of that T4 housing when we're at 30psi and above. I ripped apart a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo on the way home from work last night and will have some video up of the car on the street soon so stay tuned!

What rpm do you make 22 psi at?

and you did not rip apart a new porsche 911 turbo, do you have any idea how fast they are?

Definitely possible he couldn't drive, it still had dealer plates. He did a nice flyby first so there was no question he was at least trying to play Either way I'm still extremely excited about how well the car performs and we'll have more conclusive data from the dyno and video shortly

Do you have the ability to comprehend how fast something that makes 457 ft lbs of tq, has two turbos, 6 cylinders and over 3.5 liters of displacment, that gets to 60 in under 4 seconds stock is?

If you seriously think this thing could womp on a new turbo, your out of your head buddy.

HPF, do you have a boost guage in the car, or is it so fast you cannot look at the tach when you reach max boost?

Isn't there more than one model of 911?


I'd say with an EVO's weight and the kind of power potential with it's current setup is pretty quick too.

Who did? HorsepowerFreaks does not do tuning... Are you thinking of TorqueFreaks maybe?

This car was setup by another tuner however.

Oops, TorqueFreaks. You are correct. That was my fault.

There is only one NEW 911 turbo, there are 99999999 variations of the 911 througout the years, but you said NEW 911 turbo, and thats why it was impressive/unbelievable when you said it. The most a gt35R'd car makes on pump is in the mid 400 range, with far less hp, so again there is no way he was either trying/knew how to drive/was a NEW turbo.

Still dodging the peak boost question are we? T4 housing a lill laggamuffin?

Agreed. The new 911 turbo makes 460tq @1950. The car will steal most peoples lunch money. Off topic - Not that I've ever seen one around here, and I'm well aware that RUF is not exactly a stock porsche but the RUF rt12 looks really really nice.
