Its been awhile since we have done something really unique here at Vivid Racing, but that is all about to change. Vivid Racing has reconnected with TPC Racing to install and test one of their Porsche Cayman Turbo Kits. You might remember TPC forcing air on our Project 996 with a supercharger. For you race fans, TPC was also the 24hr Rolex champion a couple years back. So why moving away from the supercharger and focusing on the turbo kits? Turbo kits are easier to build power, safer to tune, and simpler for installation. As you can see by the turbo kit contents, the car gets a new header, exhaust, air to water intercooler, and some simple hoses and fittings. Not bad for a bolt on 150 extra horsepower!
So our project begins here with a 2007 Cayman S 6speed. The car is modded with a Milltek exhaust, Milltek Headers, APR Flash, and IPD Plenum. All these mods, except the headers, will be removed. So as the car sits, we did a baseline dyno run on our Mustang AWD dyno. This could be played 2 ways… 1 is the baseline will be less then the gains quoted by TPC because of the power mods. 2 is this will show you what spending $5000 on bolt ons does compared to $9995 on a turbo kit! Our baseline dyno run on 91 octane was 257rwhp and 225 ft/lbs of torque. Since the Mustang dyno reads much lower then TPC’s DynoJet, their stock Cayman S baseline was at 265rwhp comparatively.
Now that the immediate tests were done for a comparison, the installation will begin. The install is about 25-30 hours for the TPC kit. Once all the parts are bolted on, we will do a new dyno test. So stay tuned to our Porsche Cayman Turbo Kit Gallery Here for updated pictures. And check back to our Turbo Kit Project Here.
