Project 997 Single Turbo hits the DYNO

Project 997 Single Turbo hits the DYNO After many months of R&D, the TPCRacing Single Turbo System for the Porsche 997, is ready to hit the dyno. Drawing from our hugely successful Cayman Turbo Kit, we decided to move on to Porsche's flagship model, the 911. Designed to work on vehicles with both the 3.6L and 3.8L engines, the TPCRacing 997 Single Turbo Kit will provide more power than our previous Supercharger system as well as providing an easier installation...

Autoblog Review: The TPCRacing Cayman Turbo

Autoblog Review: The TPCRacing Cayman Turbo When Porsche introduced the Cayman in 2006, one thing was abundantly clear: Porsche had muzzled its midship coupe to prevent cannibalizing 911 sales. Despite a more favorable weight distribution and an unflappable chassis, the Cayman lacked the power to exploit its excellent underpinnings, even in "S" guise. So like its Boxster sibling, the Cayman was destined to play second fiddle to Porsche's iconic rear-engine flagship. From a business perspective, Porsche's decision made sense. For enthusiasts, it was yet another bitter...

TTAC Review: TPC Racing 775Blitzkrieg

TTAC Review: TPC Racing 775Blitzkrieg The fastest car I have ever driven is, without a doubt, the Switzer P800 variant of Porsche’s 911 GT2, as reviewed here. The folks at TPC have a roughly similar tuning package that retains the Porsche variable-geometry turbochargers, claimed to produce 775 horsepower and rather amusingly called the “775 Blitzkrieg”. This past September, I had the opportunity to take a ride with TPC’s founder Mike Levitas in the prototype Blitzkrieg. It’s awfully quick, if perhaps not quite as...

TTAC Review: Porsche Cayman S Turbo by TPC

TTAC Review: Porsche Cayman S Turbo by TPC As a child, I owned something called the Lego “Expert Builder Car”. It was a fascinating product. From one box of a thousand or so Lego pieces, it was possible to build many different kinds of cars, up to and including a two-seat roadster with a working transmission. Top-notch fun, and if Lego eventually took it off the market in favor of less advanced kits focusing on Star Wars, Disneyworld, and (possibly) Twilight...

Larry Dye’s TPCRacing Widebody X51 Cayman Turbo

Larry Dye's TPCRacing Widebody X51 Cayman Turbo We were halfway across the Nevada desert when the brakes began to take hold. The cabin filled with the rush of cool desert morning air as owner Larry Dye put his Cayman through its paces. Although we weren't equipped with timing gear, the run from 0 to 100 went by in around the time it takes to read this sentence. Getting up to the nasty side of 120 wouldn't have taken much longer...

The UK’s first Cayman Turbo

The UK's first Cayman Turbo You should have seen his face,’ exclaims the owner of our featured Cayman. ‘There we were behind this fully wrung-out RS4; he pulled to the left, and we just blew past him. Poor guy couldn’t understand what was going on…’ You’re looking at a small, orange menace to the Porsche establishment’s pecking order. What Mr Audi driver had no way of knowing is that beneath the oh-so-subtle body modifications to this Cayman lies the best part...

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn…

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn... I know there's a wide array of feelings in regard to naming one's car and/or applying a gender to it. Personally I've never been able to find a suitable name for mine. It just seems weird to me, to personify a machine with a name. But I do imagine my Cayman S is female. Considering the amazing curves and sexy hips that Porsche has provided, it's hard for me to imagine it...

Customer Review of the TPC Racing Cayman Stage 4(JRZ) Suspension Program

Customer Review of the TPC Racing Cayman Stage 4(JRZ) Suspension Program First off, thanks to Mike Levitas for helping me and SO many others on track this weekend. He's incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. For two days he was jumping in and out of cars in every run group. GT3 Cup cars to Subaru wagons, Black drivers to Green drivers, didn't matter to him, only that you wanted to learn. Congrats to Harr for his promotion! Awesome driving!...

The Most Fun you can have with a 986!

The Most Fun you can have with a 986! TPC's first claim to fame was the development and sale of our original 986 SC System. We discontinued the product in 2001. The boxster received very little attention from that point. With the great value of these cars in the current market we decided to invest a little time back into our old friend. 367whp out of your 3.2 Boxster S. Turns your nice canyon carver into a car with as much power...

-=TPC TURBO=- Yet another lengthy but thorough review

-=TPC TURBO=- Yet another lengthy but thorough review First a little background.... In the past 2.5 years, I went through a series of cars after selling my much loved E46 M3(track prepped on Motons). E46M3 => 996Turbo => E60M5 => 997C2S => ... I currently own a 2006 Cayman S (manual), purchased from the dealership as a CPO vehicle early in 2008, 100% stock at the time. The wheels/tires combination were recently replaced with factory (Carrera Classics) 19's wrapped in Continentals. The...
