At 16 I had the
pleasure of watching my first car come crashing to the ground as the
piston seal in the jack failed, resulting in extensive body and
suspension damage. I don’t even want to think what would have happened
if I was changing the oil and not the brakes. I have owned the same pair
of GMG Racing has introduced a true 4.0-liter engine upgrade for
multiple late-model 911 applications, including 996 GT3, RS, Cup and
Turbo, as well as 3.6-liter 997 Turbo, GT2, GT3, RS, Cup, and 3.8 GT3,
RS and Cup. This is a comprehensively engineered upgrade that includes a
lighter and stronger billet 4.0-liter crankshaft with updated oiling.
Mahle pistons forged to GMG’s specs are available in various compression
ratios depending on your application. There are custom forged rods for
Turbo apps and custom titanium rods for naturally aspirated setups. GMG
claims NA engines are capable of producing up to 550 hp, and
turbocharged units are capable of up to 950 hp depending on
configuration.
Quicksilver performance exhausts are built in the UK for a variety
of high-end vehicles. This one for the 996 Carrera is designed as a
direct replacement for the factory tract, is constructed entirely from
T304 stainless steel and features four 75mm rolled and slashed tips.
Quicksilver claims gains of up to 14 hp and 16 lb-ft of torque thanks to
the free-flowing design, and a deeper exhaust note on acceleration that
remains unobtrusive when cruising under 3000 rpm.

APR’s 3.0 TFSI pulley upgrade kit for Audi is engineered to
increase supercharger speed and to work in tandem with the company’s
Stage II ECU upgrade to increase boost pressure for a bump in torque and
considerably more power. The increased revolutions inside the blower
result in more boost all the way to the engine’s redline, while the
Stage II software prevents the extra boost from bleeding back into the
intake system. The pulley itself is E-coated black for a stealthy
factory appearance, and the kit includes a new supercharger belt.
Current applications include B8 S4 and S5 and C6 A6. Contact the company
for claimed power gains.
