I pulled the trigger I went and bought a 03 911 twin turbo. Wow I love it. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I haven't really had a chance to drive it the way I'd like. I did notice that it is much more responsive and easier to control at high speed than I would have thought. It is super fast and will actually set you back in the seat. The boost I can tell its there and ready at any second.
The Techart Daytonas are nice! 18s or 19s? Any other mods? If it is stock, a tune really wakes up the car. I have the UMW stage 1 tune with k16/24 turbos.
Congrats - always liked the 996 turbo and don't understand why they haven't gone up in value like so many others. Enjoy!
nice car. is it an X50? a local guy sold his 355 to get one and also loves it. they are a great value...
IIRC, the Unichip is a piggyback style ECU that you have to mount under your dash and install a switch for different fuel maps. It is a bit of work for the same hp that can be accomplished in a flash. If you want that kind of tuneability, you can also try Cobb Tuning. It is much easier to use with many, many more features such as a datalogger, dtc reader, timer, gauge panel...
That's why I never considered the Unichip. UMW requires you to download your software version onto a device the size of a Zippo lighter, ship it back to them, then install it when it is shipped back to you. You then ship the device back to UMW. Kind of a PITA with the mailings, but it only take about a minute to do the downloads. However, there is a breakin procedure Kevin wants you to go through that takes a bit of driving. IIRC, it was drive at no more than 2k for 5 miles, 2k-3k for 5 miles, 3k-4k for 5 miles. Then you can flog it and what a difference it made!
