Avalon completes AWE 750R Porsche 997 Turbo project…

There’s something about the Porsche 911 that has awed enthusiasts and stumped competitors for decades. It is no wonder when you consider the chassis’ beautiful body lines, tight handling and balls out performance. And the 997 platform is no exception.

When you receive phone calls from an unsuspecting customer stating that their chipped 997 Turbo is due for more power, you get the funny feeling inside. The kind of feeling you could expect if Megan Fox approached you on the street and asked you out, while you were on a date with Carrie Underwood. So we picked up our feet and, without hesitation, delved into discussion on the AWE Tuning 750R, 700 horsepower turbo upgrade kit.

In the Porsche performance world, there is a high level of competition. It just so happens that we work often with, and fully trust, AWE Tuning to the point that seeking their expertise on this project did not require so much as a bat of the eye. Perhaps the most enticing aspect of doing an installation with this particular kit is that AWE opted to utilized a re-formatted version of the stock variable-vein turbos in order to retain the strikingly appreciable boost ramp up, whilst being able to push more peak boost. The AWE 750R Porsche turbo kit comes complete with:

• High Flow A.W.E. Tuning VTG Turbos
• A.W.E. Tuning 997TT Muffler with German HJS Catalysts
• 321 Stainless Steel A.W.E. Tuning 997TT Headers
• CAD/CFD Developed A.W.E. Tuning 997TT Intercooler Kit
• Large Bore A.W.E. Tuning 997TT Throttle Body
• Sachs Racing Stage2 Clutch Kit (for 6sp cars)
• Proprietary GIAC Software with Handheld Switching Feature

Whether you are considering beefing up your daily driver, or putting your 997 on the track with an abundance of power, this upgrade can take you to the promise land. Bypassing the need for additional bottom-end engine reinforcements is a key element to this package’s ability to sustain it’s power and reliability day in and out.

The Results

The 750R 997 is an absolute monster! This raw, cheek-wrinkling power will suffice for most practical street and track purposes without compromising your peace-of-mind as a daily driver. It is truly power one must feel for themselves.

Clutch – The pedal feel and pressure are superb. Once properly broken in, the pressure plate provides more than enough clamp force without busting your thigh muscles. Customer response was “Man, I think this clutch is easier to drive than the stock and it feels great!”

Exhaust – No doubt, the sound of the AWE exhaust is raw but titillating! You will hear it notably with the windows down but sound inside the car is far from intrusive. The look of the quad-tips breaks up the horizontal monotony of the back end yet the orientation of the tips is tactful and sporty. Just different enough for most people to take a third [fourth] glance.

Power – Key to this upgrade is maintaining the use of the Porsche VTG turbocharger technology. While the stock turbos are revamped to provide more boost, turbo lag (or lack thereof) is not compromised. The power comes on strong and early and top-end power is nigh comparable.

In summary, quality and fit of the parts are excellent and performance is none-the-more lackluster. Where software itself does not satisfy, look no further than the AWE Tuning 750R 997 Turbo upgrade, available at Avalon Motorsports, Denver, CO!
