Cayman TPC turbo @ 520bhp

So I just got my Cayman back from TPC with their latest tune up just the day before the snow hit in the DC area. It was then locked up in the garage for a week until I finally started to take her to work. Still it was cold and not so nice.

Today it was finally sonny and I thought it was a good day to take her out, take some pictures and video record the new exhaust note etc.

Well it was one of those days.

The thread in the camera to mount it came lose and camera started to tilt. Adjusted that twice and at the end just left it tilted. It was still only about 38F outside and the road mostly wet even though it looks dry in the vid. So not much grip and you can enjoy watching me almost putting it in d'a ditch.


The current engine modifications of my 2006 Cayman S:

TPC turbo ATP2
X51 clutch
LWFW
catless race header
customized, selectable ECU mappings for 93 and 100 octane
boost controller 5.5 and 7psi.

Almost to exactly 3,000rpm the car sounds exactly the same as before and you can cruise at about 73mph and not notice any modifications. The car drives just like it always has. Push it past 3K and the car completely changes, the boost is still very linear but much harder and never lets off well deep into 7K rpm. The exhaust note changes radically, very raspy, very angry really more pissed than anything.
The biggest difference to before is the throttle sensitivity.

Too much power for the chassis possibly based on when you lost it there. My 996 Turbo never has that issue. Do you have limited slip?

[Wazool]

@madogblue It has a tortion based Diff from Quaife. I also have a 997tt, I would not have caught the rear engine swinging out like that. It is not too much power for the chassis. The road was damp and it was only about 38 degrees.

so this has a manual tranny right?

[Wazool]

@KarlowBOI yes it is 6MT.

Holy shit 543 at the wheels with 7psi? I'd like to see more on the build

[Wazool]

@TheLordofShell The kit is from TPC it their ATP II turbo kit for Caymans.

Great car. Now, invest in some driving lessons at Porsche Experience.

sound inside?!

[goingwithzed]

Yeah agree, 500 horse in a car that size would just seem intense. Even the cayenne turbos do and they are twice the curb weight ... This one doesn't do it for me ... Bummer, the mpg is cool and need a commuter

[elreydavid96]

Affordable "Carrera GT" Nice!!!

[zimnyy90]

[noobwithanrs]

can you tell me if this can hang with your 997 turbo? or make a vid of the two racing from roll ons to stand still races?

"The biggest difference to before is the throttle sensitivity."

Can you explain?

[colindyvig]

LOL....almost wrecked the thing at 2 min or so....nice. Also, if thats 520hp then I have a 33 inch penis.

[jamesjr934]

What's the 0-60 time and top speed on something like this?

[gab99riel99]
