I live in Costa Rica, have a 987 Base triptronic. love the handling of the car but...
Our best fuel is 87 octane
I use this car as a Sunday drive in the twisty mountains, usually between 4,000 to 6,000 ft elevation.
So you guess this fuel, plus triptronic, plus the altitude, doesnt run real fast.

Will a ECU programing for my type of fuel and altitude help?
adding a exhaust and Evo intake help even more?

I cannot buy an S model or a manual , there are none in Costa Rica
