Both the 996 and 997 Turbo are a 911 (or Carrera) Turbo. 996 and 997 is only a designation of what generation 911 turbo one is referring to. 996 was early 2000s; 997 was the 2006+ model year. Output changed from 405hp to 480hp. They are indeed pretty quick.

That explains it then. The car looked pretty new back in 06-07 (can't remember when I saw it). I was probably making 330-350 HP with my mods on the CA18DET back then. By the time I realized that his car was fast and downshifted to get power, he had already jumped ahead by a considerable distance. I was sad and delighted at the same time, lol.

Yep, the company that is most sophisticated at tuning FI engines, would be the one I choose. Installing the hardware is usually not that big of a deal.

Thanks again!

I have an 09 NISMO, but my S13 hatch was a 5MT CA18DET until it shattered on the Autostrada in Naples. I replaced it with a Z32 unit and it was the money.

Not sure about whether or not Haltech's offering is actually a go or not, but I would say UPREV has a pretty solid solution for our application. I just wish Cobb would have stayed in the game.
