Back from 2004:

We run a 60-1 in a T04B housing and anywhere from a .58 to a .84 P
trim turbine depending on the stage of the system.

Yes, works well in this application.

I've learned a lot from this forum so thanks guys!
Here's a single data point that may be of use - I had the Stage I kit installed by Protosport in 2001 with no intercooler, and here it's 2013 and my 911 still runs trouble free without even a hiccup. A picture can be found in my garage profile section.

I'm thinking that I want more go juice to keep up with the newer 911s every once in a while but then I am reminded just how trouble free mine has been for so long I hate to mess with it! So maybe an intercooler in the future, but for now I'm just enjoying it.

I'm still here too, and the car is still running great. The Proto set up is a pleasure, has required no extra maintenance, and the engine has also been maintenance free.

Thanks Charles. I've been heading down this route for a while now. Have my 3.3L 7:1 p/c and Protomotive IC. Just need to slowly source some Equal Length Headers and the Turbo. At some point, an LSD as well!

Car is still a pleasure. All of the materials, and advice about installation, drive-ability, and reliability from Protomotive (Todd) have exceeded all expectations. I thank them again. You won't be disappointed.

Completely agree. I will have to approach him about my car one day (already have in certain respects). Todd tuned my dad's 993TT and it is absolutely fantastic. Making about 600hp yet butter smooth in city driving.
