New to me 996 turbo
- Thread starter jboy
- Start date
Had my first 996T for over 5 years now. Said i would modify it. Never have. Each time i drive it it's like driving Miss Daisy when driven normally, and then like Gone In 60 Seconds when properly pushed. The loonacy when pushing on (even in stock form) is staggering.
A passenger ride the other year in MCs modified 996T shows what can be achieved thru modification. Genuinely made my ballistic stock 996T feel like a Mondeo, such was the difference in acceleration between mine and his
Best place for your 996T is with you in the driving seat on a B road, not on your drive :thumb:

Looks to be a lovely car.
I am 5 years in now and earlier this year took the opportunity to have Ken at 9E work his magic with a 9E38 upgrade.
74mm TB, IPD plenum and Kline exhaust.
It really does transform the car. Most of the difference I think is in the mapping. It now picks up and makes boost far quicker.
But even standard they are a darn fine machine, no doubt.
Enjoy.

That does sound nice - my c2 used to howl at 4000rpm, the turbo does not. I have a cargraphic catback exhaust fitted by Parr I believe, which sounds lovely at idle and sort of "meaty" when Sunday driving but it doesnt have the howl at high revs....
Quick question:
Am I right in thinking the "twin" element of the turbo set up is two identical, large turbos? Rather than a small / large set up? I ask partly because I have provoked very little boost in 1st gear - and I am not sure whether that is due to me being unwilling to floor the car in circumstances when I am in first gear (ie in town) and therefore I havent actually properly tested this or whether there just isnt much boost. Once in second, obviously it is a different story.....

Thanks - I assume both boost at the same time, explaining the rush at 3000 rpm and comparative lack of action in the 1000-2000 rpm range? Apologies for the questions, I am more used to sequential systems which start to boost in the low range until the larger turbo takes over....

Yes, both the same size, both operating in the same way. Like having two 3 cylinder engines with a common exhaust and inlet manifold.
