Turborcharging may have upset the purists, but from a tuner perspective it is the best thing that happened to the regular 911.
That’s because it’s way easier to upgrade a forced induction engine’s power output than it is to work on a naturally-aspirated unit, and the Carrera’s new 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six powerplant is the perfect canvas for a company like MCCHIP-DKR.
The German tuner has got its hands on the the 991.2 Carrera S, offering two packages that boost the stock 420 PS (414 HP) and 500 ft-lb (678 Nm) of torque output, all the way up to 485 PS (478 HP) and 585 ft-lb 793 (Nm).
The Stage 1 package is more mellow, as well as cheaper, for MCCHIP is offering only the software upgrade for €2,499 ($2,875), bumping the power to 475 PS (468 HP) and 570 ft-lb 773 (Nm) of torque. If you want to let the Porsche to really stretch its legs, you’ll have to pay €8,349 for the tuner to include a valve exhaust with sport catalytic converters made by Capristo, which lets the car achieve the maximum power rating.
Add another €1,490 over the hefty price and the tuner will also include a so called PDK-transmission optimization, deactivating the enforced up and downshifting, resulting in increased engine RPM and faster gear shifting. The Stage 1 is the best value for money hands down, but if you want to go the extra mile, you pays your money…
