OK, now that my 991.2 (GTS) is nearly three years old and will be out of warranty, rather than buying a new car, how could you spice it up to give it new lease of life. I would like more induction noise and sound generally and maybe release more power? What do you think?

A simple exhaust and remap should do it?

Drive the touring with PS4S on and pocket £70k from the GTS sale.

Can't drive the Touring as a daily. a) Want to preserve the specialness and b) it's too raw for me, for everyday use.

Lichfield? Any thoughts on others?

Speak to Ken at 9e. Kline exhaust will transform the sound of the car and along with a remap you should gain +100PS. All well within your budget.

How is it too raw? I run my 991.2 GT3 CS as a daily, and its fine. Touring would be an epic daily.

Buckets, Noise, Manual, Speed, Fury, all too much for me on a daily basis.....

I would have thought Litchfield would be an obvious choice?
I was interested in some upgrades for my 991.2 S, but after a turbo failure last year decided I wanted to keep my warranty intact.

Ninemeister have experience of tuning the 991.2 engine although maybe not the GTS. I'd have a chat with them alongside the others suggested.

Would endorse 9e and Litchfield as I’ve seen a few of their cars, and then as TwinFan says 9m also have a 991.2 tuning package.… some nice intercoolers.
Depends on location, and what you can get in the deal/package and timeline.

these imo are already fast enough !!

People say the T , not the touring but the base spec T is fast enough, My mate had a .2 GTS while I ran a .1 GTS and the .2 has more power than you could ever need imo. The brakes are good, the sus is good the power is good, if you are board, drive the Touring, I though that was the point of a Touring over the Full fat GT3.

spending £10k on a car you are board with will only be fun for about a week !!
I would sell it and buy a AMG GT-R thats a much more fun car than the .2 GTS, my mate did the swap and loves the AMG, the GTS was dull.
