There is a software only performance upgrade for the Gen 2 turbo which seems very reasonably priced. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with Evolution Motorsport products?

Only curious you understand.............[]

No experience with this particular mod. but I've plenty with other go-faster kit over the years and I would say that unless you're flat out everywhere and looking for more grunt (which somehow I doubt in a Gen2. TT) I personally wouldn't touch it with an onion bargee, mate.

However, the Zorst in the clip sounds OK - just the thing for church in Tavvy on a Sunday morning.

Regards,

Clive

High quality items, moved on a lot from boy racer stuff you could get before BUT, Clive has a very good point as well.

In addition on the beast I got better bang for my buck elsewhere also beware the balance issue - if you have steel brakes you could end up having to upgrade the brakes to match, then the suspension to support the braking capability and extra speed, then the induction system to help the engine breath better........ Rather then like the bast you spend a lot of cash bringing it back to feeling like a factory car (Clive's point)

Cargraphic are expensive but top quality (ask Alex).

Straight remaps - I'd go from either DMS or Revo as they stay within safety parameters, use the existing chip and are hard to detect by a sympathetic OPC. The gains claimed are not as large but more realistic as they focus on drive ability, eliminating flat spots and optimizing the car to high quality European fuel and both companies seem to have at least taken advice from/worked with GMBH at some stage.

With Revo you can buy a dongle that stored the remap so you can take it off when going to an OPC or rewrite it back if it gets over written accidental by the OPC.

Not to sound too like Alex, you will also loose that precious warranty. And given these are relatively new engines, we don't yet know their longevity, robustness and how hard they can be tuned.

The full shebang is a custom remap like Vizu, do it along side upgrading your induction system (agency power or similar) and you'll get some serious performance improvements at UK driving speeds. Of course if you do the low back pressure exhaust (Miltek/cargraphic) and upgraded intercooler and hoses you'll be up at 700+hp and stupid torque. By then of course even the ceramics wills struggle so you'll need to upgrade the brakes seriously as well as the suspension to cope (PSS16's) £20k later you have a very nice machine.......

We need encouragement....?[] Thanks for the wise words Tom but it really is quick enough already. Don't know that I necessarily agree about the brakes though. Mine with the RS 29s stop as well as any ceramics, I reckon. They just get hotter, the discs start to get cracks from the holes and you have to buy new ones![]

Ta - hence my suggestion that if you were looking DMS/Revo might be better as the focus there is drivability as opposed to top end power.

Brake wise - it looks like you've already upgraded []

Nice one - you can never have too much stopping power - when I had the beast I ended up with the TT Servo, GT3 pots, calipers, cables, pipes etc and GT3 front disks all around (for stability) with EBC yellow ceramic pads. Found it would stop quicker than the std turbo set up to the surprise of a few people behind me on runs. What I loved about them were that they were really progressive hot or cold.

The new toy's ceramics are fantastic but a bit grabby when cold especially at low speed (an article in a recent Porsche magazine claimed the Ceramics set up uses re branded EBC Blues as pads).

Gary - you know what they say, you can take the boy out of Essex...........

The new pads supplied by my OPC for my GT 3's ceramics are bright red (both pad and metal plate the pad is mounted on). Anyone know what these are? Didnt ask when I was there as spent all the time looking at how the old ones had worn and didn't spot the new ones until I came to wash the car
