Hey guys.

Just got myself a 2006 Cayman S (well, I did then I got shipped of to the Baltic for few weeks so haven't really driven it at all) I'm looking at power upgrades for when I'm back, i come from a supercharged VX220 so speed is certainly down. As is handling!

What's the best bang for buck with the power?

Also, any pics/threads of modded 987's would be cool!

Cheers guys and girls

Cheers for that! With the plenum, I see they said it's genuine Porsche? What model? Would rather source the parts myself to save a little cash towards wheels/suspension. Also, I'm a big fan of custom live maps rather than downloaded maps for obvious reasons.

With the desnorkel.. I'm struggling to find a proper guide for it? Any links?

I keep seeing the bore scraping issue mentioned.. What does this do/cause

Thanks

I didn't realise the ones linked were genuine porsche. That's fine will get ordering then.

Speed and handling is down for sure. Not on power, it's 30bhp up.. But it's also 500kg heavier and no low down power at all whereas the VX pulled from nothing. Would laugh at 996/997 turbos so I can't even try to compare it to the Cayman.

I'm not expecting to match it, just give a little more go smile

Thanks for the input guys
