Thanks for the offer though...
p.s. Told you I'd have a turbo some day

Coolant plumbing tree that runs across the front
turbo fuel pump and injectors
I have the intercooler in the stock location under an NA nose
the clutch, bellhousing and flywheel will be needed for the different ammount of teeth on the ring that the DME reads
The radiator is an inch taller and uses a different lower pan that it sits on
coolant tank has an extra port with a check valve for the turbo coolant
heatsheilds are suggetsted from the starter area on the 951
The guages should plug directly into the 14 pin plug at the booster, double check that, my 87 951 to 88 944 was fine. I'll keep thinking...

I own an 88 N/A to 2.7l Turbo conversion and the intercooler fits fine in the stock location behind the radiator. And to add fuel to the fire it doesn't take completely converting everything to a "951/turbo" to make it a nice ride or a turbo. Afterall they both started out as Porsche's and the upgrades should be left to the driver. I'm happy with mine.
Plus, I love the looks I get as I blast by many faster cars.
