Weistec Goes Maniac on the Mercedes GT-S with Turbo Upgrade

Weistec Engineering is the go to source for Mercedes performance upgrades.  When a new Mercedes platform somes out, they go to town!  Already having some great upgrades for the 911 fighting GT-S Coupe, Weistec thought they would make the already 500+ horsepower monster even faster with a billet turbo upgrade.  The Weistec M178 W.3 Turbo Upgrade unlocks the true potential of the 4.0L Biturbo engine.  Power gains are substantial, especially in the top end.  As Weistec puts it, “The factory turbocharges are disassembled and fully inspected.  The compressor cover and center cartridge are then machined to accept our 5-axis CNC machined 65mm impeller wheel.  Externally, no changes are made to maintain a completely stock appearance.  The new impeller wheel supports greater power levels than the factory unit with little to no sacrifice in spool and response.  The turbochargers are then reassembled with new seals and fully balanced for smooth operation and OEM service life.  All the original oil and coolant lines bolt right up making for a simple install.”


As tested on their own shop car with supporting mods, the GT-S made 650 wheel horsepower!  Supporting mods include the Weistec ECU flash, downpipes, air filters, and of course, some good gas!  Shop all Weistec Mercedes Power Parts Here.

Porsche 991 Turbo Tuning Box Half Mile Test with Video

The VR Tuned ECU Tuning Box Kit has already proven to be one of the best Tuning Upgrades for the Porsche 991 Turbo.   This has just proved itself again with Prestige Motorsports in Puerto Rico.  This completely stock car ran a 161.75 mph pass at the recent half mile event in PR.  This is the same Tuning Box Kit that we did a ECU comparison article with here as well as showned off on our old Project 991 Turbo racing us in our McLaren 12C here.  This is not the first time it has blown away the competition in the half mile event.  Another customer of ours made chop liver out of this Turbo S in Georgia here.  The Tuning Box plugs into the cars boost pressure, manifold pressure, and cam sensors to boost the car up from 520HP to 630hp at the crank.  The box features an adjustable dial on the back which allows you to change the way boost is delivered for those that are running better fuel.  Check out the video and pics of this monster ripping the tarmac up!  Order the Porsche 991 Turbo Tuning Box Here.

Touch of Carbon to this McLaren 12C Spyder

We had a local customer come by to get his 2014 McLaren 12C Spyder a little dressed up with some Agency Power carbon fiber engine trim.  The 12C Spyder hides a lot compared to the Coupe we have, but still looks amazing.  For the Spyder, the oil filling tank cover and intake manifold cover can both be upgraded.  They are molded from the OEM parts for a perfect fit and finish on the McLaren’s 3.8L twin turbo engine.  Each carbon fiber piece features a 2×2 twill weave that is nearly identical to factory.  Having put our own Project McLaren through some miles and the hot Arizona heat, these pieces hold up perfect.  Enjoy these beautiful detailed photos of the installation and see othe Agency Power Carbon Fiber Parts here.
