MetzgerTurbo Report post Posted January 5, 2015 I've spilled bits & pieces across the forum, but I'm finally taking a few minutes to log everything in one place. Starting Point: 2002 996 Turbo w/ X50 package, Undercover catless x-pipe exhaust, eurodyne tune, 5 bar FPR, and H&R springs Goal: I didn't necessarily have a target number in mind, but the overall goal here is to create the "ultimate street car." That means different things to different people, to me that is reliable, drivable, comfortable, and hella fast. The car also needed to be in a more competitive state for the various roll-race events. For 2015 the focus will shift to suspension & braking. Planned Upgrades: I went to Garth at Undercover Performance for everything. He helped me put a plan together that would accomplish my near-term goals while keeping things ready if I want to jump to the next level K24/20 Turbos w/ clipped wheels, filters mounted to turbos (ceramic coated) ProEFI 112 EMS w/ E85 support UC Fuel System Upgrade (Walbro 460, Bosch 044, 1400cc inj, UC fuel rails) Updated Undercover X-Pipe Exhaust (added mufflers, new tips, and plumbed the wastegate dumps into the system) UC headers w/ ext. precision 46mm wastegates (ceramic coated) IPD Plenum 997.1TT Intake UC Y-Pipe w/ dual BOVs Welded coolant pipes ERP Twin Disk Carbon clutch GT2 Slave conversion Forge boost hoses Status: I stopped by the shop yesterday and we are almost ready to hit the dyno for tuning. My exhaust and y-pipe will receive their final touches this week and I'm hoping to finally pick up the car sometime next week. Here are some pictures of the journey: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetzgerTurbo Report post Posted January 14, 2015 The exhaust is now 100% done and mounted on the car. The y-pipe will finish test fitment tomorrow and then its over to the dyno for tuning. The guys over at Fabworx/UC did an amazing job on the fabrication...I wouldn't mind hanging one of these on the wall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetzgerTurbo Report post Posted January 17, 2015 Figured while I'm waiting for the car I may as well freshen up the 1 part I'd see/touch the most. Thick padding + alcantara + speed yellow stitching by Exact Art Fabrication Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetzgerTurbo Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Stopped by Undercover this morning to check on the progress. The car is just about done, we gave it its first start up...now its a matter of hiding some cables and getting the car tuned. Here's the best shot I could get of the fender well intakes: Wye pipe w/ dual Tial QRs is in place Really liking the new exhaust tips (the previous set up was slash-cut) Some other cool projects in the background, HKS1000 GT-R & Tommy's 996TT monster 1st start-up video (Pre-tuning) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
