One of our customers came to us looking for some Forgiato Stili wheels for his Porsche 997 Turbo.  Having never heard of them, I used our mutual friend Google and came across these pictures on L4P.  The wheels are definitely different then what most of us are use to with mesh and spoke designs.  The carbon fiber lips and carbon fiber centers pop compared to standard finishes.  Soon after making a couple of calls, we had the Forgiato wheels on order in 20×9 and 20×12 for the Porsche Turbo.  The custom wheels took about 3-4 weeks to make and be delivered.  We equipped the 3pc wheels with the Pirelli PZero Nero 245/30/20 and 325/25/20 tires and new Porsche OEM TPMS sensors.  Once installed on the car, it definitely change the look of the white Porsche.  This style might not be for everyone, but the stray from the norm has us going “CHA CHING!”

Streetability, high performance, racing inspired, and proven testing are all words to describe the VR825 power package for the 2007 to 2009 Porsche 997 Turbo. With a true bolt-on Garrett turbo kit for the 996 Turbo in our history, we wanted to take the same development, but enhance it 100% for the 997 Turbo. Realization of what the stock 997 Turbo motor was capable of, set us on the path to create this power kit. Beginning R&D in December 2008, we thrived to develop a bolt-on turbo kit that was capable of 1000 horsepower with engine modifications. For those 997 Turbo owners that do not want to touch the internals of the engine and keep the driveability as well as functionality of their car on a day to day basis is where we end at the VR825 Power Kit. This kit was designed around the daily driver and built to give your 997 Turbo the driveability of a stock car while around town or headed to dinner. However once you get into boost, the car is an insane piece of equipment designed to test your foots threshold.

We just did a new dyno with the current mods on the car to see how it reacted. It is very nice outside with an ambient temperature of about 80F. The car is running Agency Power Catless Downpipes, Agency Power Exhaust with Ti Tips, Agency Power Intercooler, JB3 ECU, Riss Racing Intake. We run a Mustang Dyno which reads a bit lower then some of the DynoJets runs out there. We were running pump gas of 91 octane. The made an impressive 322 rwhp and 375 ft/lbs of torque. Once we remove the center pipe and run race gas, I bet we see 350 wheel horsepower. More info coming up!

Just wanted to say nice work to our customer Tim who rocked the dragstrip with his 997 Turbo Tiptronic.  His mods are a Softronic ECU Flash, Ceramic Coated Headers, and Fabspeed Bypass Pipes.  This was his first time out with the car since it was flashed.  The tiptronic allowed him to rocket to a 11.16sec in the 1/4mile with a trap of 123mph.  Just shows how quick a tip is.

And the play by play…

Tim is at the line

Brake boost and launch

Happy Guy!
