"For the most part it’s still a factory cooling system, straight water, reische stat, removed all the active ducting. It’s only on 7lbs on e85, and it was only 65-70 degrees when we took it out both days. So keeping it under 240 cylinder head temps wasn’t much of an issues at all. We can’t...

Twin turbo track build
Well, apparently not if you want to open the throttle for long stretches at a time. Everybody is telling me that any boost will cause the car to go into limp mode or, worse, close the ring gap and bust a piston ring land

And so far everything I can find seems to be confirming that.

OK, now that you and I are both fully aware that you know much more about this than I do, lol, here goes.
One set of 19" for daily driving with a good summer tire.
Tires and wheels for track only, go with 18" - much better selection of tires and some very serious track tires come only in that...
Sounds awesome, but I am not on that level (financially or in driver skill).
My oldest son sells Porsches for a living, so I get to hear all about their performance, and, yeah, I cannot help but watch some Youtube on track reviews of various Porsche models, but, again, not in my budget. This...
