    • @sutherlacd27
      @sutherlacd27 2 роки тому +1

      Markski at Markski Tuning or Sam at ByDesign are the top 2 guys I would consider for tuning your car. Markski was my choice for my 997.1 turbo with upgraded turbos, intercoolers, exhaust, and turbo intake tubes. Sam is the guy to go to if you plan on doing e85 in the future. Markski if you want to do methanol injection or a 100 octane tune

    • @sutherlacd27
      @sutherlacd27 2 роки тому

      BTW if you are going to get it tuned I highly recommend upgrading the exhaust at the same time. If you don't plan on doing any mods beyond that the stock intercoolers will be solid for you. If you want to get upgraded turbos or e85 or anything like that eventually then you will need to upgrade the intercoolers as well. Markski makes the best intercoolers. Markski makes a nice exhaust. But I prefer Freddy Lewis for an exhaust. He did mine for $1400 shipped to my door.

    • @2fast2nick
      @2fast2nick 2 роки тому

    • @sutherlacd27
      @sutherlacd27 2 роки тому

      @2fast2nick I'm not sure about the ipd plenum on the 997.2 but on the 997.1 it's a big waste of money.
      If you plan on upgrading the turbos I'd highly recommend hitting up markski for a package deal on his 4.5" intercoolers and tuning.

    I just finished listening to this podcast and realized I had a question. I wonder if it’s possible to tune a C7 automatic transmission controller to make it respond better to inputs. The answer used to be no, but I’ve driven other slush-box autos that respond damn near as fast as my E92 M3 DCT did. That would be good enough to get me back into a C7.

    • @sutherlacd27

    Trade-off there’s always a point of concession. Toyota is following the trend that most manufacturers are leading in just having as much tech in their cars but also looking at things drivers don’t use/want. Most people I know sadly never have touched/operated a manual transmission car. We are living the strangest of times.
