Uhhhh....we need a $hit load more pictures before the "answers" to your questions will be forthcoming.

Looks way cool even with the single pict! Congrats, enjoy! I just took my favorite twisty-windy road home from work this afternoon and just wanted to keep going. 3 hours later and my heart is still beating hard.

Will get some more pics asap....

88 Factory Slantnose
Fresh engine and tranny 2k miles ago
60k miles total....
Needs paint - but looks real good from 5 ft or after 3 rums
k27 Turbo
BB Exhaust and headers
Cargraphic wheels

Bottom line,,, I really need to get some more HP out of her without breaking the bank...... Thinking of a less restrictive exhaust system - zork maybe? and then go from there....

Night and day from my 996.... More fun for sure...

OK, that's better. Very nice.

More HP? What's that? Nobody here ever chases that demon.

With your headers, muffler, and turbo, you're well on your way. How about your intercooler...still stock? If so, get a larger one. And how about your ignition...stock CDI, or aftermarket. There are a couple alternatives in that arena that will give better performance (more HP, probably not really, but better performance where it counts). Still running stock boost levels (i.e., .8 bar), or do you have a boost controller to liven things up (not recommended without at least the larger intercooler). Cams, yes some gains can be had with SC or 964 cams, depending on the type of driving you desire. Fueling...still with the stock CIS or was it converted over to electronic fuel injection? If stock CIS, you'll want to make sure your AFR's are good to go as you start messing with things. In other words, on-board metering is a must.

Bottom line, your simple question cannot be condensed in a short post such as this. Need more info on what you've got past stock, how you plan to drive it, and your goals.

Thanks - This car came available and I just couldn’t resist...

She does have a larger intercooler - but no boost control so only .08 bars...

I am waiting on the written PPI with all the info and will post it back up for your suggestions....

Thanks again and look forward to being active participant here..




BTW - Anyone know a good shop in Fort Laudardale Florida?
