993TT remapping

[Chris V]

First post, so hi all!

I've just bought a 993TT and would like to do the filter/exhaust/ECU upgrade. I've bought some muffler bypasses for sound more than power (although this might yet prove to be a mistake) and was going to go for a BMC or K&N panel. I've been told that there isn't much to gain from high flow cats so wasn't going to bother

My question is who do I use for the ECU bearing in mind that it is a 1996 model? And has anyone had any experience of Imagine Autos kits as they look amazing value? Those that I had in mind are RS Tuning, 9ff and FVD.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Lot's of discussion about this on Rennlist; I think general consensus is that you won't get much more than 430-440 hp out of the stock K16 turbos. Performance air filters/intakes are of dubious value and more cash flow devices for the seller than anything else

I'll have a factory 430 ECU to sell within a couple of months.

Concur with phelix though you can get 450/60 bhp on the k16's with an RS chip, quite a few swear by the 100 cell cats though I havent bothered, better places to spend your bucks.

Muffler bypasses are a must for the sound value though neighbours and track days are a problem. After fitting get a friend to blast past you for the goosebump value.

Rennlist is the place to get the best advice on upgrades(though you will get quite a few of them on here) and you should pay special attention the ones that 'Kevins' does for VFM ie stage 1, 2 perhaps even 3.

Thanks for that chaps, I'll take a look at Rennlist.

add the word 'motronic' when doing the 993tt tuning searches on rennlist and here Chris....

IMO fixed boost BAD, motronic boost GOOD!

What about Porsche?!

[MOD500]

Sorry Phelix, yes of course, the 430 Porsche kit from www.carnewal.com is good value

Dont get the wrong idea abt Wayne , hes litterally a bespoke mapper with vast experience of Pork.............hes done a 993 GT2 for me up to serious level , i have watched him improve mid range on a norrmally aspirated 993 to the owner wanted to kiss himand work miracles on 993 tt s ..............this is no bolton chip jockey !!!!
U tell him what u wish to acheive he justt dsits there quietly and does it .........

My 993tt with Techart 100 cells, Techart boxes, and an RS tuning ecu (and running K16's) ran 448bhp - from what i understand that's about as good as you'll get from the K16's. Faster than the factory 450 kit though

I've been thinking about getting Wayne to have a go at my C2. Anyone used him for n/a 993 applications? Verdict?

I've used Wayne on 3 different 993 carrera's Pete - great results every time!

I should say - I wouldn't use Wayne (or any fixed mapper) for the TT though, different ball game.
