996 TT, chipping and F-pipe etc?

[Nervus]

I'm wishing to have my turbo re-mapped and can remember a thread about needing to replace the F-pipe due to the added stress' etc but can't find the thread.

Can anyone confirm if that is the case and point me in the direction of a supplier for the uprated hose.

Also, Is it essential to replace the IC hoses while im at it? I'm going away for three weeks and could do with ordering the parts this weekend if possible so any advice would be great.

Additional to what advice you get on here - I would speak to a good established tuner (like DMS) who will be able to tell you exactly what's what.
AFAIK, DMS and other chippers do not change or modify anything other than the ECU, so perhaps that tells you the internals can more than handle the extra power, but I agree its better to be safe than sorry.
I think it might be the diverter valve you are refering to - apparantly the standard one is a little flimsy and people replace it with a tougher version. Someone else will confirm I am sure.

Thanks for tip,

I just talked to DMS and they say I don't need anything other than the ECU flash so I'll take their word for it I rekon.

I was thinking of taking it to tech 9 but DMS seem like a better option as they will come to you and £1700 + VAT seems good value for 500bhp, 504ft/Ib and it garanteed.

I had mine done by DMS,decent people to deal with and an awesome upgrade(you should be able to negotiate a better price than that as well)

Alternatively you could call the "chip chap", previously (and maybe soon to be again) known as "weltmeister" (and contactable here by that username), he can come to you too. Haven't tried his upgrade on a normal 996TT , but the X50 version is superb. Much more lively and responsive before boosting , much less feeling of transition when it does come on boost, and then. . . . Holy Mother it really flies. Feels like one gear lower than actual during acceleration, but just watch your braking distances. . . .wish I had, DUH ? ¿

My Gt2 recently underwent a DMS 600 conversion, (now its serious widow maker material )

However it had additional mods to reach a figure of 608.5bhp and 590lbft
At vmax last sunday it reached 202mph on the speed traps;

An excellent company to deal with and rob's an absolute diamond who's more concerned about his customers and there needs as apposed to just taking there cash.

Go for it You will not be dissapointed.
