FWIW: the '79 could be US spec while the '80 is grey market.

It's only "grey market" if it's in the US. Sameer is in Singapore.

Good point, missed that.

I think you could buy ROW cars with fewer options then what was available standard in the US (cloth seats, air cond, etc). The fuel system on the '80 is ROW (ROW from a USA perspective of course) and supports as much hp as the '79's.

I think they switched to the 'alternative' fueling systems around 1980.

Its kind of moot since you can easily take care of any fuel shortages on a 930 while leaving the CIS system intact by using the following device.

<strong>i love the 930

but there is a 1987 944 turbo in town here for 13 500, got a porsche mechanic inspecting it on tuesday, if nothing is 2 wrong with it going to get it, 1st thing im doin is puting ram air onto it

anything about the 944 would be greatly appreciated</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Sorry to add more 944 content, but ram air won't do a thing. Furthermore $13.5k is pricey for a 87 951. Like UDpride said, check out the 944 forum...Recently there was a big thread on ram-air...
