Sorry, been pulling too many all nighters lately chasing a comet.

In all honesty though, the 2.5 is really not one you see many people do anything to cause there just isn't much you can get out of it. Same can be said for most Porsche engines. If way smarter engineers couldn't get better response with millions to help them out I dont think any of us will get anything more out of it by mixing & matching parts.

I am always skeptical of any of these changes cause 99/100 will say it makes improvements but never have any actual data to back it up. By data I mean something like a dyno run before & after as an example. Without any actual concrete data to back it up it's just placebo feeling/thinking something is better responding/quicker/etc.
