Cargraphic 997 Turbo conversion?
Hey all,
We're currently looking into buying a 997 turbo, probably a 2009 build, and therefore would like to know a few things. My dad and I already tried the 997 turbo tiptronic (we're definitely getting a tiptronic), and it was fast alright, but not blazingly faster than our current unmodified BMW M5, which is why we would probably tune the turbo a bit. I've been reading along on this forum for a while, and judging from all the different posts about tuning kits, the stage II cargraphic conversion kit seems really neat. I have a few questions though: So far I haven't seen a single cargraphic tiptronic turbo, do they make this or is the massive torque too much for the automatic transmission? Does cargraphic offer warranty for the remaining time of factory warranty? (Like Sportec for example). At last but not least, what is your take on the liability of the car after tuning it? Anyone had any problems with tuning a 997 turbo - also non-CG?
As you probably can tell this is the first time we're seriously considering some heavy tuning on one of our cars, so I apologize for all the questions
Happy motoring
