looking for objective info and/or exprience with TPC's turbo for the Cayman.

Try the search, there are some threads from members who have looked into it extensively or who have experience. I don't think you'll get it all rehashed here very concisely.

I think you'll need to wait until there's at least one customer (non-prototype) on the street. I hear that should be in February.

I was emailing Tom at TPC Racing. He told me that their first run is sold out and that installations are happening in CT.

Anyone here on Cayman Club getting a tasty little Turbo Kit?

Dfogal.

My friend's is there now and is, I believe, the first production installation and the subject for a video installation guide. It's undergone extensive and very thorough testing and evaluation (with more to come) and is expected to be in the works for another 2-3 weeks. The attention to detail and the quest for perfection has been quite impressive.

I'll post more as it's approved, but thus far it's possible the results may be even better than the prototype. Hopefully, it'll be back in time for some track time at our DE April 4-6.

There are a couple of cars getting turbos fitted now there at TPC. I am one of the few people who have driven the original prototype car and the power was intoxicating. I believe I posted a review along with the Rennsport Reunion III info last November where I drove the car. Some searching should turn that up.

My car left on the transporter yesterday to TPC for the full monty.

The first run was limited to twenty kits to limit the liability if the plumbing didn't work right. From the pics they sent me, its surprising that everything fits.

I wanted to have the work done in South Florida, but they want to do the installs in their shop or have their authorized shops send their tech for training. I heard about the video but it seems that will be the reference manual rather than the primary instructions.

tach miami, are having things like the flywheel & clutch upgraded or do TPC think that the OEM parts can cope with the increased power and torque?

It looks like the only major OE parts that get replaced are the mufflers and exhaust tips to accommodate the new plumbing. I haven’t heard anything about the clutch on their test car slipping, so it should be able to handle the power.

Are you installing aftermarket headers (e.g., Milltek)? Reportedly that yields more HP than the stock headers.
