Question Turbo Performance Center's Twin Turbo 930

Hello, does anybody know anything about this car and what became of it? I have a 10th anniversary issue of Turbo magazine (1995) with an article about this car, but I have searched the web and these forums seemingly endlessly and have been unable to find anything about it. According to the article it was running a 3.3 with a sequential twin turbo setup and putting out 730 flywheel HP at 1.25 bar boost. Also it says the motor redlines at 9200 and can run continuously at 8900. Seems like a pretty wild car. Does anybody know anything more about the car or have any pics of it? I would appreciate it, thanks.

It was yellow with a big 892 in red on the driver side door (I assume both doors, but the two pictures in the article showed only the driver's side). It also had 964 bumpers and 5-spoke multi-piece wheels with the centers the same color as the car.

That car is now for sale locally at shop in MD. It's not longer a twin turbo. Send me a PM if you want the shop's contact info.

That is something. The turbo setup is not easy to design and then scrap.

Well, legend has it that sequential turbos were hard to tune with a engine management system. I read on another post that this car had an Electromotive EMS. I guess that explains it all really
