ours is not the Viggen, but the 2.0 High output, about 20hp shy of the Viggen, but comes with the same turbo and intercooler as the Viggens 2.3. Ours has a 3" turbo back with no emissions equipment at all, a very very aggressive tune along with all the supporting fuel and air mods. We are pushing the stock TD04 and Viggen crossflow intercooler to the max at the moment. It also has full Koni suspension and a fatter rear sway bar. The car is extremely fast but at the expense of driveability.

If you mash the throttle below 40mph you just see the TCS light up, TCS defeated you just get wheel spin,it is pretty insane. Definitely not a 1/4 mile or 0-60 racer, but a good highway runner. I have never put it up against my S so I have no idea how it would work out.

The Saab cannot even begin to compete in handling though.






and those are legit 2 piece BBS RK wheels too....score of the century on my part when I located them!

"...you just get wheel spin,it is pretty insane..."

which is why I didn't bother to crank up the output of my Viggen, it's pretty easy and cheap to get it to 300hp (and even more insane torque) but, apart from the bragging rights, that power is pretty useless except for shredding tires.

Got meself a Boxxie instead, lots of fun! Today was top-down motoring day in the Hamptons.

Stock 986

I'm new to the Porsche Brand, but itching to try my next mod:dance:

My first mod consisted of a "simple to install" bolt-on plenum that replaces the original stock plenum by Peak Aire Performance, which has yielded 36 to 37 MPG highway driving ( see pic ) & 20 to 23 MPG city.

Not sure if these MPG ratings are good or bad, however the original sticker price label when the car was sold read - 20 City 29 Highway - Comments Welcomed!

Question:

Has anyone successfully increased the size of the stock TB & Intake Plenum from 68mm to 74mm?

I would like to combine the increased performance from the first mod with a larger plenum & TB from a different Porsche model.

Does anyone have the recipe for this "DYI" cocktail?
