Contact us for pricing and availability At TPC, we only sell products that we know work. The quality of Europipe exhaust systems easily surpasses that of the factory and every other exhaust available in the aftermarket. Assembled with precision welding and manufacturing techniquies, each Europipe exhaust is a work of art and engineering. Many aftermarket exhaust companies sell highly polished stainless exhaust systems to hide flaws in the building process… With Europipe there is no hiding because there are no flaws. Even as a direct bolt-on to our test mule, it dynoed(in stock form w/ no flash) a very impressive 28hp to the tires, with consistant gains across the rev-range. In highly modified cars, this exhaust becomes even more important, as it is one of the only exhaust systems available that features larger diameter piping throughout its entire length. In addition to it’s massive piping, providing hugely increased exhaust flow, the Europipe exhaust system also provides the largest, most efficient catalytic convertors of any aftermarket exhaust available. These massive cats are one of the reasons that the Europipe exhaust can move so much more exhaust gas compared to the competition. Europipe exhaust systems are known for their intoxicating tone. The sound from these pipes will please the most discerning ears. With its crisp cold startup note, it soon settles into a deeper ,smooth, and refined rumble. However, with even slight applications of the throttle, the driver is treated to the sounds of turbochargers spinning and a bark that simply means business. With all of the tonal bliss, one would expect some loss in normal driving confort. To the contrary, noise within the cabin is minimally effected, and the driver can enjoy normal commuting with ease. With it’s large diameter piping, huge, efficient catalytic convertors, unmatched construction, and perfect tone, Europipe exhaust systems are the best solution for your Porsche Turbo

981 Cayman/Boxster Turbo Kit

TPC Racing — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 17:04:06 +0000

Want more power than a GT4?! Look no further by adding BOOST to your 981 with the TPC Racing bolt-on turbo kit! AVAILABLE NOW FOR PDK and MT! 981 Cayman/Boxster owners, we have the turbo kit for you to edge out the power and torque of the GT4/3.8 swap for an amazing price with everything you need to have for the ultimate experience of power, torque, and refined drivability!

TPC Racing originally introduced the 981 bolt-on turbo kit in 2015. To be completely candid, the 981 turbo kit didn’t get the great popularity that our 987 bolt-on turbo kit did over the last decade. Some of the reasons for this was the market changes and we also feel that we never got the 981 turbo kit tuning to be as seamless as the 987 turbo kits. Despite our best efforts we were limited by the available tuning platforms at the time. The power was definitely impressive but we felt that the integration could have been better and the overall experience more seamless.

As the 981 tuning platforms greatly evolved over the past few years, so did we!! To kick things off this year, we proudly enlisted elite Porsche ECU tuner Mitch McKee and his team to provide the best tuning available to pair with our turbo kit. Mitch and his team brought to the table years of winning pro racing tuning experience and the most advanced coding for our application. With a full week spent on our in-house dyno, we now have the missing piece to make our turbo kit SEAMLESS in operation with the sought after power! We are excited and proud to re-launch our TPC Racing 981 Bolt-on Turbo Kit!

With ~420whp against the factory 300whp, this bolt-on kit was engineered for safety and performance in mind without sacrificing the reliability of the OEM engine and internals. The boost pressure is set within a safe parameter for the factory compression ratio of the engine. The turbo kit produces 4.5 psi of boost that starts spool as low as 2200 RPM and peaks at 4500 RPM to hold out thru the rest of the power band. This produces a nice fat and wide torque curve improving the acceleration in any gear. This is the ultimate power package for any 981 owner looking to bolt-on 100 whp.

The TPC Racing 981 Turbo kit features a liquid-to-air intercooler fabricated in-house out of the highest quality American aircraft aluminum materials in order to maintain cooler intake temperatures for high-performance driving. All TPC Racing stainless steel turbo kit exhaust piping are fabricated in-house from the jig for each specific model out of the same high quality stainless steel materials for a guaranteed fitment. Our self-proprietary turbo that comes in our turbo kits from TPC Racing are perfect for the 2.7L-3.8L engines with quick spool at low rpms and can pump out up to 600hp with supporting modifications to the engine. Everything you need to install the turbo kit is included along with installation instructions and can be installed by a professional mechanic or do-it-yourselfer with advanced-level mechanical skills. That means this kit could be installed at home in your garage and with the easy to use Cobb Accessport Tuner, you are able to upload you TPC Racing custom turbo tune to your ECU within minutes.

The results are proven and with our most recent 981 turbo kit installation on this 981 Cayman S, here is a clip of the one of many dyno pulls we did in order to write the coding and perfect our new custom tune.

Here is the comparison of the dyno runs of the stock 981 Cayman S (Blue line), a stock 981 GT4 (Green line), and the newly revamped 981 Cayman S equipped with the TPC Racing Turbo Kit (Red line). Both in DIN and SAE.

Enjoy mid-engine handling with an added 100 Horsepower boost for your 981 Cayman or Boxster!

987.2 Cayman Boxster Turbo Kits

TPC Racing — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 17:02:53 +0000

For some time now 987 Gen 2 Cayman and Boxster owners have longed for the power and capabilities that were offered to 987 Gen 1 owners via TPC Racing’s Turbocharging kits. That wait is now OVER! Gen 2 owners, this one’s for you!

With over two years of R&D, the TPC Racing 987.2 Turbo Kit for the 6-Speed 3.4L DFI Cayman/Boxster has finally arrived. Producing a whopping 450HP*, the TPC Racing 987.2 Stage 2 Turbo has a broad power band with smooth and constant power delivery. With many TPC Racing 987.2 Stage 2 Turbo Kits installed, and thousands of street and track miles already logged, now is your chance to join the ever growing number of 987.2 owners enjoying the boosted performance of 450HP*!

The experience behind the wheel is something visceral yet refined. Traditionally with aftermarket turbo kits, the driver is forced to sacrifice the comfort and drivability of their vehicles when they want to drive the cars at normal “street” speeds. That is not the case with the TPC Racing 987.2 Cayman/Boxster Turbo Kit. These cars feel as if they just pulled off of the showroom floor with the turbo kit already installed. Driving with the TPC Racing 987.2 Turbo around town is a pleasure. The throttle inputs are as smooth as stock, but with a much broader power band, allowing the car to pull hard from almost any RPM. The power feeds on quickly but smoothly as you give the car more throttle, and will absolutely scream all the way to redline when pushed! This is the way these cars should have come from the factory.

Performance

At TPC Racing, we believe that there is a lot more to a vehicle’s performance than just peak horsepower. With this mantra in mind, we develop our turbocharger systems using custom built(for the application) turbochargers that deliver a strong peak of 115WHP over stock, but also provides fantastic response with it’s ability to quickly spool, allowing it to provide nearly 100ft/lb of torque(at the wheels) from 3500 RPM to redline. This is performance that will easily surpass a Porsche GT3 or Corvette!

The Cayman that Porsche should have built…

Cayman owners have long dreamed of giving their cars the power they need to truly be the best they can be. The dreaming is now over with the release of the TPC Racing Stage II(S2) Cayman S Turbo Kit. Drivers can now experience mind bending acceleration that equals that of a 997Turbo. By pairing the immense acceleration of 997Turbo with the Cayman’s mid-engined agility, TPC Racing has created the ultimate driver’s car.

The Accumoto Cayman Turbo RS gets some serious testing at Road America

After 22 months of R&D, our TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo kit is now available to the public. With 460HP* on tap, the TPC Racing Cayman S Turbo will easily put you through the 1/4 mile in well under 12 seconds. During preliminary testing the TPC Racing test mule achieved a very respectable 11.7 second run @121mph; faster than a 997Turbo or a 997 GT3. However, with just a couple of TPC Racing’s optional upgrades, drivers can now achieve 1/4mile times that are right on the edge of 10 seconds with the potential to be even faster! That’s territory normally reserved for modified 997Turbo’s and big block American muscle.

Combined with it’s excellently balanced chassis, the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo is well equipped to terrorize GT3s and Z06s at your next track day. This incredible package was developed with 150 hours on the dyno, nearly 30,000 miles on the street, and 30 track testing sessions, the TPC Racing Turbo s2 Cayman S Kit meets our strict standards for performance and earns our seal of approval!

With an engine tuned to develop 460HP*, working in concert with an outstanding mid-engined platform; it is understandable why the TPC Racing Cayman S Turbo Kit is so highly coveted by Cayman owners. This system transforms the Porsche Cayman/Boxster from a fairly capable sports car, into a supercar killer. Porsche owners all have one thing in common; high expectations for their vehicle’s performance; and with the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo kit, their expectations have been matched and exceeded.

Power and Reliability

The TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit employs a single turbo setup. The turbocharger used was specially designed to provide maximum power with fast spooling. In this application we have harnessed this turbo charger’s mighty potential to force only 4.5lbs of boost into the stock Cayman S engine. Boost was restricted to 4.5lbs to preserve the motor’s reliability. Smooth operation and the vehicle’s longevity are two of our primary focuses when producing a forced induction kit.

Staying Cool

In order to cool the massive amount of compressed air being fed into the Cayman’s engine, TPC Racing employs a liquid-to-air intercooler setup for maximum efficiency and ultimate power. This system works in conjunction with the OEM front center mount radiator***. By designing a front radiator system that employs that OEM Porsche front radiator ducts and supports, we can ensure the the system maintains Porsche’s/TPC Racing’s high standards for fit and finish as well as ease of installation. All of these OEM components have been wind tunnel test by Porsche to guarantee the most efficient airflow possible; you cannot beat Porsche engineering! In addition, should any of these components ever be damaged or worn out from years of use, replacement pieces can easily be purchased at any local Porsche dealership!

In order to move the coolant through the TPC Racing system, we turned to a stout and reliable Bosch coolant pump, the same pump used on the Ford GT and F150 Lightning. The pump size is carefully selected to move coolant at the most efficient rate; too fast and the coolant will pass through the radiator too quickly without transferring enough heat out of the coolant; too slow and the Intercooler will heat up because fresh cold coolant will take too long to circulate through the system. Positioning of the intercooler itself was a challenge, however the TPC Racing design places the intercooler in an area that will allow it to get ample cooling from the ambient airflow without being directly subjected to the muffler’s radiant heat. Whether you are facing hours of stop and go traffic, desert heat, or a weekend at the track; the liquid-to-air intercooler setup used in the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit will effectively manage intake air temperatures.

The Sound to Match the Performance

The TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit completely replaces the stock exhaust system excluding the exhaust manifolds/catalytic converters. The exhaust included the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit produces a healthy rumble the will give you goosebumps. We went through many different designs during R&D to come up with a muffler setup that would produce an excellent tone while being perfect streetable. During normal driving conditions the exhaust maintains itself at a nice low rumble, but when the throttle is cracked open those around will know for sure that this is no ordinary Cayman. Made with aircraft grade stainless steel and polished to a shine, the exhaust in this kit provides an attractive and aggressive, sound and appearance with ZERO drone or resonance.

No Squeaks, No Rattles, No Worries

One of the perpetual downfalls of aftermarket turbo/supercharger systems is their overall fit and finish, ease of installation and the everyday drivability of the vehicle. One such issue, common with aftermarket forced induction systems is their tendency to have lots of squeaks and rattles of parts rubbing and flexing and vibrating against other parts. This all leads to a car that may be fast, but is definitely not a pleasure to drive. In order to fight back against these annoyances, TPC Racing had the idea to create custom molded 5-layer silicone piping. These attractive pipes will produce absolutely ZERO squeaks or rattles to take away from the overall driving experience. And, because of the extreme flexibility of these silicone tubes, installation could not be more simple. They can be easily slid into position and be flexed to find a perfect fit. In addition, their extremely durable 5-layer construction ensures that they will be able to survive, without dents or breaks, for many years to come even if they take occasional impacts from small road debris. Just another way in which TPC Racing has gone above and beyond to create a system that is not only simple to install, but also requires virtually no maintenance! Combined with the TPC Racing S2 Cayman Turbo’s superb driving characteristics, you’d swear you were driving a factory turbocharged car.

TPC Racing S2 Cayman Turbo

Comfortable in any Situation

Daily commuting with the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit is a pleasure. During normal driving conditions, the car performs like any stock Porsche Cayman; with very smooth throttle response. The car is pleasant to drive as a daily commuter and in traffic it’s like driving a regular car. But as you press your right foot down a little harder, a whole new world opens up as the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo transforms from a sedate street car into a firebreathing 997Turbo killer. There is no turbo lag at all offering over 100lb/ft gain at even 2500 rpm, making it great when you just want to get up and go. When your foot hits the accelerator you are thrown back into your seat and with a greater acceleration than a GT3. This amazing combination of power and refinement makes the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo the perfect car to race at the track during the day, and drive home in the evening.

Finding the Perfect Tune

The secret to the amazing power and smoothness is our most advanced tuning system yet. The TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit utilizes 6 larger injectors controlled by our cutting edge ECU flash. This technology helps us provide the most well integrated system on the market, giving the driver the feeling that their Cayman came from Germany as a factory Cayman Turbo.
