Was mentioned in this thread where someone suggested 620bhp isn't possible on original turbos (I've no idea)

The DMS 600BHP+ upgrade includes new bigger turbos IIRC. Their stage 1 map (~540BHP) which I have, utilises the standard VTGs.

Would that type of spec'd car not normally retail from a specialist? I looked at the stock list of the dealer and there is nothing similar. It's the sort of car you would get a lot more comfort buying from jzm or the like.

How does the performance/throttle response/economy compare with standard Martian? thinking of mapping mine on standard turbos

Seems to be a few 600bhp turbos out there at the moment. I called a guy yesterday about one (private) and after a 15min call he said he has a deposit on it but would I like to bid more for it.

Certainly do get a different type of seller with Porsche !

Certainly looks like a few shades of grey on my not very good laptop screen.

The cargraphic car with stage 4 package is a proper set up, tuned by RS Tuning. The output is real. You cannot get 600+hp out of a Standard 997 Turbo with VTG turbos - Impossible.

You can get 600hp with vtg hybrids, and you can get 640-660 if you use the gt2rs vtgs, and then make them hybrids. A remap plus a few other things like exhaust, intercoolers etc. will get you around the 550ps mark.

So does anyone know have any knowledge of this car
I have read the blogs and it has been for sale for a while - a bad sign?
Worth looking at?

[Trev450]

I don't have any knowledge of the car but there's generally a good reason why a car has been for sale for a while.

I was tempted by this car, but when i spoke to the owner i was put off.
The miles wasn't an issue, but also the tuning house "Storm" i'd never heard of them and they have carried out all the work and servicing.
