Techno Torque 2

[Burg Boxster]

Bobiam & Franco-

In post # 3 of this thread, you'll see one is installed in my '99 and has been for more than 3 months now. I did then and do now give it a huge thumbs up! The difference is very noticeable and a few people who have driven my car since I installed noticed the difference as well. None of them knew I had even put it in but commented blindly about it to me after driving. So I've posted my impressions here in this thread and others as well on some other Boxster boards.

That being said, and w/ or w/o times being economically tough, a lot of people do not do much modding w/ intake systems other than adding an aftermkt filter (a la K&N etc.). Some will put a cold air intake on but otherwise the mods typically stop there. Thus why there's not a ton of feedback on the part. It's a newer area to fiddle around w/ and personally, I'm surprised it's not really looked at even more (though Porsche tweaked it again for the 987s vs 986.2 which was tweaked vs 986.1).

As I said previously, I won mine so I don't have to say positive things just to feel good about $ spent b/c I'm not out anything. Plus, knowing Pedro's more than generous return policy (quoting Bobiam earlier in this thread: "Considering Pedro's return policy, the only loss if a buyer is dissatisfied is one way shipping cost and a few hours labor."), I really don't see what's to lose (other than 1 hour installing, 2hrs if you subsequently remove, and $10 shipping)?

At this point since others are not providing feedback to your satisfaction, why not become a leaders instead of a followers waiting on the sidelines? Buy one, test it out for yourselves and post your results.

"I'm following this thread and waiting for some good feedback from Pedro and IPD customers. If nobody is so impressed as to take the time to comment about it here, I'll take that as a negative opinion and figure that they are embarassed to tell us that they sepnt their money on a useless mod.

That sounds like a tough way to view it, but what else can I do? I'm just not in a position to spend the $s based on charts and graphs that are under the control or influence of the product manufacturers. I want to hear from several forum contributers. "

I got one of the units and was hoping to do a before and after dyno, but could not pull off the time or the money to make it happen. But I have to say, Pedro is a great man to work with and I am very satisified with the product. For what its worth, my butt dyno seems to feel a little more go with the techotorque2.

Ed....but your 2.7 has a bunch of mods that may perform better with Pedro's product. There is no saying that a stock engine setup would benefit the same.

How did the dyno testing turn out on these?

[manolo]

I've decided to end the speculation once and for all.....

I'm going to dyno my butt.

[Jake Raby]

Jake Raby just ran a couple dyno curves with and without the techno torque. But he gave the curves to Pedro and we're all waiting for them to be posted.... Nothing yet.

Correct, but it was a very rough evaluation on a 3.6 Liter stage I engine. Thats a very high torque engine by design.

I'll be evaluating further with more stockish engines in the coming days... I'll provide that to Pedro as well.

Nothing influences our outcomes other than actual experience.. I am not much of a political person and I'll tell people first off what I think, good or bad.
