Congratulations! Absolutely awesome car! Porsche TT has always been a car goal of mine. One day I will own one. For now, I'm envious of the guys that do! lol

Thanks.
Prices for the 991.1 Turbo S are coming down a bit.
There are a few major differences between the 991.1 and 991.2 series, so do some research before buying.
I will say that this is the nicest vehicle I have ever owned, by a huge margin.

congrats! Definitely on my list of attainable dream car.

Thanks.
Most expensive car I have ever bought but for all intents and purposes, yes, they are attainable.

Got the car back and figured I'd bump this thread.
Thanks to Joe, Ryan, Mark and the AIM Performance team, I finally have the 900hp Porsche I've always dreamed about having.
Life's too short so I took the plunge!
Well, I hemmed and hawed for a while after I got the car last year, wanted to keep it stock, then wanted to tune it, then thought about 68's, considered other kit/install options as well but I finally landed on having AIM do the ES850 install on my car and dropped it off in early March.
My buddy Mike (ttboost) and I drove down to NJ last Saturday morning to trailer it back and I have been able to go for a few drives and begin enjoying the car with the newfound power.

I have to start by simply thanking Joe, Ryan and Mark for putting up with all my calls and texts.
As someone who has built a car or two, I have just enough requisite skill to be dangerous, which is probably most shop's number one nightmare.

As I told them, I really don't enjoy wrenching much anymore as I've gotten older and achier, so I am very glad I had them do the install work for me.
It's an amazing experience meeting at the shop and picking up a turn-key 900hp car.

So, of course, I had a few questions along the way after dropping the car off and they answered them all.
I had a very good experience working with AIM and their team did a really great job with the install and tunes.
Looking the car over, it is apparent that while it is a bolt-on kit for the most part, there are a few small details here and there that AIM did to make it truly a turn-key setup that runs perfectly every time the key is turned.

The car runs fantastic and while I have not yet done any instrumented testing, the car is seriously quick and fast and feels like it pulls harder the faster you go.
At 140, it is still pushing you back in the seat.
It just doesn't flatten out.
Dyno sheets forthcoming but based on memory, the car made about 660whp on 93 octane, 800w on 93/meth and 880w on MS100/meth, with all three settings available on the HKS EVC-6.

Drives like stock and the ES850 exhaust sounds really good, a full 3" stainless with factory tips.
It's got a nice throaty, deep sound to it and I don't think it's loud enough to **** off my neighbors, unless I pull the car out really early in the morning.
AIM sends the stock tips out to get hi-temp powdercoated in gloss black and they look perfect on the car.

I also went with the Dodson 10-plate clutch and pan/brace setup, for some added drivetrain structural integrity and a little peace of mind.
Also had them install a new set of Michelin PS4S and did the DSC chassis controller, and got the windows tinted Monday, too.
Don't have many install pics, just a couple of the car.

900hp?

Well, that's going to make your next car seem slow.

900? Pfft.....why not 1k? Haha just messing. Lots of power for a good looking car.

Had the opportunity a couple weekends ago to make one 60-130 run on the pump/meth tune, too much darn traffic even at 645am on a Sunday morning...car went 5.04.
I'm initially very pleased with that and I expect that the car will go high 4's as it sits.
This thing moves out....much stronger pull than any car I've ever driven or ridden in....a full 1.85 seconds quicker than my last TT C5 Z06, which I had very good results with against other solid cars during an impromptu roll race or two.
This power is very addicting...hopefully I can hold off on draining the bank account in search of even more but I don't know...
Did a ton of just cruising around with the car over the weekend...honestly could have spent days behind the wheel without getting fatigued.
Porsche certainly did a great job with these cars...it's amazing that I can pull this thing out of the garage and go for a ride.

vrybad

Just sharing the dyno chart....
Lowest pull at 752 whp is a preliminary pump/meth pull...current street tune running pump/meth is the 800/650 pull.
The car made 686whp on a very conservative straight 93 octane map.

vrybad

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased!
Can't wait to get home for the July 4th weekend and put some miles on it.
I'm really looking forward to hitting the 1/4 mile later this year and seeing what kind of times/mph it runs...I'm hoping for some mid 9/145 runs...we'll see.

IMXCITD

bada$$! Enjoy!



btw...have a friend w one of these...vert and he put new rims on his.....looks amazing! Something to think about

vrybad

I hear ya...I've got a set of BBS FIR's for the car but I really like keeping it as stock looking as possible...always loved the sleeper approach!
I do prefer and really like the stock wheels that Porsche used for these cars, though the BBS were the only wheel I would choose as an alternative.
Got a very good deal on them as they were pre-owned but in as-new condition, so I saved quite a few bucks.

vrybad

OK, finally got a chance to make one 1/4 mile run in mexico today.
I was very rushed due to the location, so started off idle, no launch control and ran an easy 10.61/144.12 with a 2.14 sixty foot.
0-60 was 3.63.
I'm thinking with launch control, the car should definitely run mid to upper 9's.

TLS_Addict

Yowzers! That thing is moving!

vrybad

Yea, it goes pretty good.
I'm pleased with that preliminary mph.

DDSLT5

Car is a freaking monster!

vrybad

haha yea, that preliminary trap speed is promising.
I'm looking forward to getting home and spending more time with the car.
I'm hoping to see some 9 second mexico runs and sub-5 60-130's.

Porsche Turbo cars are phenomenal engineering accomplishments.
They just get the power, reliability and drivability done right. Even when pushed to your levels.
Awesome car. Awesome.

vrybad

Yep.
They make a nice car that's very fun to drive.
