Porsche’s VTG turbo technology will allow the turbo to spool a lot faster than that of a convention unit, where the performance will be on par with that of larger, naturally-aspirated engines.

“When I first saw the new variable-vane technology the 997 Turbos, I was impressed,” explains Tym Switzer. “The more I looked at the VTGs, though, when we flow-tested them and really started putting them to work, I began to realize that it would feasible to develop a turbocharger package that could match the VTG’s responsiveness while out-performing them in the midrange and top end. That we were able to develop this package so quickly is a direct result of the incredible progress in aftermarket turbo technology that has taken place over the last few years. Our technology partners can deliver exactly the turbos we need to achieve the performance targets we specify for a given build – and we work together closely to achieve those targets with more run-after-run consistency than a factory VTG-based turbo can provide.”

Switzer Performance has been making a really good amount of changes to Porsche models, and this is all thanks to their knowledge in making real power.

“We know a bit about making real-world power,” adds Tym, “and once we decided to go beyond 700 hp with the efficiencies required for maximum consistency, reliability, and throttle-response, we realized it was time to move away from the VTGs, which are on the living edge at 750 and well beyond their practical, everyday limits.”

The Switzer P800 package will offer quick performance, along with consistent power.

“With the new P800, you can really have the cake and eat it, too, in a car that you can drive back and forth to the office without drama, and it will still deliver an incredible rush at the track.”

“The great thing about this package is that the power delivery is more linear than with the VTGs, so the P800 car is actually smoother than the factory TT, without any of the oscillation you get periodically from the DME’s dynamic control of the vane mechanism on the VTG,” said Tym.
