previous owner said its all stock.
But if i want to check, is there another way instead of pulling out the dme or taking the car to a dyno shop?

That's a great looking car - the deep phone dials look great! Enjoy it and say warm - my parnets live in Carmel and they say it's mighty cold!

You may have either chips or a reliaboost/accuboost/Lindsey Boost Enhancer or something..........or even the CAT was removed or a test-pipe installed because you should see 1.7bar on boost not 1.9 (or close)


Nice car BTW

Great lookn' car, congrats! Sounds like you need to vent the air out of the cooling system.

Looks good!!

Yea you'd really have to look to see if it has chips, I'd just look under the hood for a realboost or the like.

Its hard to tell how much boost your running on the stock gauge, but by the pics it looks stock.

Beautiful ride!!!
I can't get enough of black 944's or 951's....and that one looks to be just mint! Can't wait to see what you do with her!
I dunno what sort of records you have on her, but myself I would go over the car thoroughly, cleaning it up and changing all the fluids, so I have peace of mind.
It's not a huge deal to pull out the DME and check the chips, it'll take you like 15 minutes to pull it out, check and/or snap some pics (and post them on here to be sure), then put it back in.
I'm scared of ever actually driving a 951...because I KNOW I will get hooked!!!

If you feel like a road trip, there are GTG's in the Cinci area this weekend and Feb 5th.

We can check out any issues or questions you may have, swap relays etc to rule out headlight issues.
