Drove the car the past couple days and I'm definetly excited about the mods.

First of all the inlet pipes are amazing, my K24s spool much much much faster and pull much harder up top. You can be at 3-3.5k in 3rd and when you floor the boost gauge instatly goes from 0.0 to 1.0 then to 1.2 bar. I had my WGs tightened before, but no I am gonna loosen them back up because I hit too much boost.

The ClutchMasters Stage 3 clutch and GT2 Master/Slave combo are stiff. Very stiff. I drove the E92 M3 up to the shop and getting into my car from the M3 was just...wow. Stiff pedal lol. The clutch grabs smooth, definetly OEM-like engagement just grippier. The engagement is always in the same spot, unlike OEM slave setup. So far I have not experienced any chatter, gladly I went with a new OEM flywheel.

Gbox detent really adds some flavor to the feel of the shifter. OEM 997 SSK + Gbox Detent feel like a completely different car then a 996tt. Detent makes the gates feel more defined/sharp.

Dropped my friends M3 off for Aquamist install...

went 11.9@124 on a slight incline with a 2.1 60' fighting wheel hop and terrible traction. 11.5 should be doable on my Mickeys at the track.

Now that the turbo inlet pipes are done, I decided to get more air flowing on the positive pressure side. RSS had an amazing deal on IPD 75mm Competition Plenums and I just could not resist getting one of these. I will be picking up a 75mm TB to go with this

Thanks Mike@RSS !!!!!

well the inlet pipes are on. although i thought i could feel the difference they only made a 5whp gain over what i had before. i spoke to Tony@EPL about and he told me that my power level the stock pipes are just enough and that everything upward of where i am now the piping will make a difference (18Gs or 20Gs). Pipes sound amazing though. I will probably install the IPD Plenum, New TB at the same time I do injectors.

Next on the list
- Motor mounts and 997 tranny mount
- IPD Plenum +75mm TB
- 997.2 GT2RS Intercoolers
- 20Gs, 72# injectors, EPL Tune
