Porsche May Struggle to Comply With U.S. Fuel Limits, FTD Says

Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) – Porsche SE, the maker of the Boxster sports car, may struggle to fulfill U.S. gasoline-consumption rules, potentially denting sales,Financial Times Deutschland reported, citing a company spokesman.

Porsche gained a waiver to meet the requirements in 2012 through 2015 yet doubts its automobiles will satisfy the legal minimum consumption rate from 2016, the company’s U.S.-based lobbyist Stephan Schlaefli is cited by the newspaper as saying.

The U.S. legislation, which will become law in May, requires cars to have an average gasoline consumption rate of 41.4 miles to the gallon, the FTD cites Schlaefli as saying. That will entail lowering the consumption of Porsche cars by about 10 percent a year from 2010, which Schlaefli said was not feasible, the newspaper said.

SuperChips announces new Flashpaq Tuner for 2010 Camaro

What makes Superchips the world’s best-selling brand in the segment? Just two things: its products and its people.

With 25 years of expertise, Superchips delivers quality solutions for people looking for more power, more fuel economy and a variety of customizable features.

Full-line with Niche Expertise

One size does not fit all, and we create “tunes” – tailored calibrations – for each niche as if all we did was work on that one type of vehicle. But since we work on more types, we’re able to apply benefits that we find from our experience on other vehicles, too. For example, we have a team working to pump up the power on Dodge Cummins trucks and a different team crafting the latest “tune” for Ford Mustangs. They share ideas and passion for great products, but they know the vehicles they work on and the customers who own them better than anyone.

More Power Every Day

We believe in giving you more power throughout the driving range. Some companies only pump up the power at full-throttle because that’s much quicker and easier for them than working on all of the points through the throttle position and engine rpm range. But this is a key Superchips difference you’ll feel when using one of our “tunes” – more power everywhere that you can use every minute of every day.

Want serious horsepower for your WRX/STI??

Wow! who wants serious horsepower for their wrx/sti?  Agency Power has unleashed this insane GT35R turbo kit that is designed to make over 500 wheel horsepower on race gas and over 400 wheel horsepower on pump gas as tested on the STI.

With months of testing, developing, and designing, Agency Power has completed the best GT35R complete turbo kit for your Subaru WRX or STI vehicle. This turbo kit is a bolt on high horsepower solution to your 2.0L or 2.5L car. The AP big GT35R turbo kit is designed to maximize performance for street, drag, or the ultimate road racing needs.

The kit includes all T304 stainless steel piping that is TIG welded and thick flanges. Piping includes a new 3″ downpipe that will fit to your aftermarket or factory exhaust, a new uppipe to work with the factory style headers, a wastegate dump pipe, and a new intake pipe with MAF mount for perfect readings. The Garrett GT35R turbo is a complete ball bearing turbine that has a .63a/r for fast spool up and includes an 84 trim wheel. The turbo is both oil and water cooled. Agency Power supplies the necessary steel braided Teflon lines and Rubber hoses need to fit the factory connections. We also include a Tial 38mm wastegate to control pressure for maximum boost needs. The intake functions with a reusable K&N cone air filter. A stamped bracket is included to keep the intake pipe firm in place. Silicone couplers are available in red to connect the necessary piping. The kit includes an intercooler adapter pipe which connects from the compressor of the turbo to the intercooler piping. We have tested the kit with the APS, TurboXS, Perrin, and OEM top and front mount intercoolers. Lastly all stainless steel hardware is included to bolt the turbo kit together keeping it hassle for free for the life of it on the car.

The Agency Power GT35R turbo kit is designed to make over 500 wheel horsepower on race gas and over 400 wheel horsepower on pump gas as tested on the STI. The WRX will produce less horsepower on the stock motor. All numbers vary depending on car modifications, tuning, and environment. This turbo is custom designed to spool up at around 4000rpm’s to give the best horsepower response throughout the powerband. The turbo is capable or running 30psi and greater of boost, however we recommend many modifications to ensure the safety of the motor.

If you do not have all your modifications necessary, please contact one of our sales reps to advise you on necessary parts to maximize horsepower. We recommend having the following parts: Front Mount Intercooler, ECU, Fuel Pump, Injectors, Fuel Rails, Catback Exhaust. Other recommended parts would be to upgrade your clutch, flywheel, shifter, radiator, and other related parts.
