Installed IPD Intake Plenum on 986 Boxster...Pics & Review

Ipd Ftw! (For The Win)

[Johnny Danger]

In defense of Pedro's Techno Torque, the dyno results on my vehicle from about a year ago presumably showed a very slight increase in HP. I hasten to say, that the TT was installed at the same time as a couple of other modifications were. However, the point is that at no time did my vehicle show a loss in power due to the TT as others have indicated. With all due respect to JAAY and those who may have experienced a loss in power, keep in mind that the TT was designed to be used in conjunction with 2.5, 2.7 and 3.2 engines. I have no doubt that Chaudanova's experience with the IPD is accurate, however, I also believe that the TT has merit of its own. Especially if you compare the price between the two.

Also, I don't think Pedro claims ANY hp gain on the TT... just more Torque.

Horsepower is a FUNCTION of torque at a certain RPM. You can't have one without the other. In its basic equation, horsepower is simply torque x RPM. (with the appropriate conversion factors.) In fact, torque and power are (almost) flip sides of the same coin. Increasing the torque of an engine at a particular RPM is the same as increasing the power output at the same RPM.

Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lb) * RPM

So, yes, Pedro refers mainly to an increase in torque (8 ft-lbs. in some cases), however, there is also a resulting increase in power.

Lol, you really like to disagree with me huh? I'm just quoting what Pedro stated himself when he first developed his TechnoTorque...

"No increase in HP...":

Actually, I'm starting to think that you "complete me" !

Hello All...

What kind of HP gains are you seeing chaudanova? Thanks!
