2009 Cayenne Twin Turbo S: EVOMSit Software & EVO V-Flow Intake, TechArt LED DRL

This 2009 Cayenne Twin Turbo S showed up for our Stage 1 performance upgrade including the EVOMSit software and the EVO V-Flow twin intake system. This combination of parts bumps the power to 611 hp and 608 ft-lb torque.

Note that the lights are much more visible from certain angles, and when traffic is coming toward your front (or seeing it in the rear mirror) they'll likely spot you a lot sooner. The lights dim automatically when the headlights are enabled and when the signals are used.

This Cayenne Turbo S returned a short while later, as the owner wanted more grunt from the vehicle. The TechArt Exhaust has a nice sound, but the owner wanted faster spooling turbos, better throttle response, and of course more power. We installed the Shark Werks Cayenne Bypass Exhaust to remove the secondary catalytic converters.

And here's the result:
