Description
So, you have a Porsche 996/997 and love it. But lately, the overall performance has left you looking for something more. You look at the usual headers, exhaust, intake, ECU flash, etc. but these won't get you the performance you are looking for. You are looking for mind bending acceleration and insane power ready to go at a moment’s notice. What to do? TPC Racing has now raised the bar for performance for the Porsche 996/997 Carrera with the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion.
With the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion the aim was to create a system that would not only match but also surpass the performance of the 997Turbo. With 520hp and 450lb/ft of torque the Turbo Conversion is ready to take on any challengers the road has to offer.
TPC Racing has been in the business of developing the high performance modifications for Porsche vehicles for over 2 decades. In that time, TPC Racing has been a lead the industry in developing forced induction upgrades for the 930Turbo as well as the TPC Racing Supercharger Kits for the Porsche 964, 993, and 986 Boxster. Next, TPC Racing lead the way in developing the first positive displacement supercharger kits for the Porsche 996 and 997. Now, based off the success of the wildly popular Boxter and Cayman Turbo Kit, TPC Racing released the next revolution in Porsche modifications. Boasting the addition of a single massive turbocharger, the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion is capable of producing a whopping +140whp over stock on 93 octane fuel.
520
HORSEPOWER with 0 COMPROMISE
Just like
all TPC Racing Performance Systems, the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo
Conversion was designed to be perfectly at home on both the street and the
track. Daily operation is perfect! You can drive this car as if it were
completely stock with no issues. Hundreds of hours were spent perfecting a tune
that would not miss or stall in the low rpms; a tune that would allow the car
to settle into a nice steady tune. During normal commutes, the driving
experience is just like any stock Porsche, it is smooth on and off throttle
transitions with even smoother power delivery. The difference between the TPC
Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion and a stock Porsche 996/997 becomes very
clear as you start to press the gas pedal closer to the floor. Very quickly,
power builds as the massive TPC Racing Turbocharger begins to feed boost to the
engine. Before you know it, the scenery outside of the car is streaking by and you
feel the rush of acceleration that leaves you gasping for breath. Struggling,
you try just to keep up with gear shifts as you blow through the rpms on a
tidal wave of power that simply never seems to run out. The car blasts forward
with a howl of approval from the included exhaust system!
This immense power transfers into extreme performance at the track. With the addition of the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion, your competition will have to be weary. The TPC 997 Turbo's linear torque band makes for a car that is extremely easy and fun to drive on the track. Like most TPC Racing applications, the 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion was developed as a direct bolt on kit. This system requires absolutely no internal engine modifications necessary to maintain the engine's overall reliability or longevity.
Huge
Power with Low Boost
At the
heart of the TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo Conversion, is our massive single
turbocharger.Through extensive
R&D and enormous knowledge of forced induction, TPC Racing has developed a
turbocharger setup that provides instant spooling and has huge mid-range and
top end power. What makes this setup even better is that it produces this
enormous power on only 5.5lbs of boost. This TPC Racing designed turbocharger
has been optimized to produce maximum horsepower, instant spooling, with
minimal heat buildup. Instead of
having to drop the engine to get the supercharger fitted and installed, most of
the components in the Turbo Conversion simply bolt up in place of the stock
exhaust system. In order
to provide adequate fueling for TPC Racing 996/997 CT-520 Turbo, the stock
27lbs injectors were replaced with uprated 60lbs motorsports injectors. No
other modifications to the fueling system is necessary.
The TPC Racing CT-520 is available for all Porsche 997.1 and 996* models w/ 3.4L, 3.6L, and 3.8L engines.
*This
system is not available for 1999 Porsche 996 C2’s. This models differs from all
other models and is the only 996 that runs the older 993 ECU and cable operated
throttle body.
**The required front center radiator kit is included in the price.
