It's all worth it though, when I drive my car it all makes sense...
And the high compression works fine, its runs like a champ. Panamera Turbo does 10.5:1
More videos coming up...

Actually these numbers are not optimistic at all. The strongest run was 567hp to be exact. This is considering a 13% loss in the drivetrain.
The dyno is very exact as well, it connects straight to the driveshaft. No rolls.
Yesterday I was at the track and I had no problem overtaking a 997 turbo S on the straight. The GT3's where nowhere. I have tracked this car several times and the proof is not in the numbers, its in real life when you realise how everything around you is awkwardly slow.
1280kg and a little over 700Nm does that.

Have you made a call on the turbos yet? Whats the expensive bit of the turbo rebuild, seems mad money for a k16? I've got a few K16's of various states if that helps at all? Hope you get things back up and running soon.
Please say you have some in-car track stuff? Haway share the love!

GTX28's are a downgrade compared to the Tials as their response is lower and I don't need the higher top end. The Tials come with custom turbine wheels, they are not straight copies of the G28RS.
Car will be ready around the second week of Januari. I just got into the whole GoPro thing, don't have much but I do have some from our Alp trip a couple of months ago... I'll edit some.

I talked to someone yesterday about Turbos options for my car.
He used to build the F1 Turbos and turbos of Group B cars.
Since he makes most parts himself, except the casing I asked what it would cost to repair a turbo. He said, he would need to know whats wrong with it first.
Send me a PM, maybe I can get you in contact with him, to rebuild your turbo/s.

Anything I need to know about drive shafts? There are two kinds for the 964 right? Are the Turbo/RS ones the same?
I need to get new so might as well get the strongest/lightest.

Hi,
I am not sure they fit:

You can also check with Torqline. I know they have build one-off drive shafts:

I read somewhere here on RL, think it was a post by Colin 9M, that there are hollow driveshafts for the RS models, they would definite be lighter and stronger.

Gearbox (964 turbo) checkup. Everything was fine and I added the stiffer mount. Also switched the original LSD for a Guard 40/60.

Disco potatos mounted! Just working out some details in the plumbing but should all be ready this week. Looking good!
Also having a larger (92L?) fuel tank mounted, should help when I am on E85.
