BTW, callaway made one, there are a few people here that have them.

pretty much a NA to turbo conversion is a waste of money and time. The 951 will still be a better sports car with a lot better brakes.

LOL this post is gettin a little iffy. Those that are not members shouldnt offer things for sale...I wont ramble like tifo...but seriously...

If you want to modify an N/A - the project we have all been eyeing is converting the N/A off the AFM and onto a MAF. After that it might be real cool to see ITB's like say off of a umm Yamaha R1 or a Hayabusa. They are sized about right to fit and would make the N/A into one sweet an unusual car! (imo) If you are good enough to turbo N/A cars- you should put your mind to the MAF and ITB project. People here would **** gold bricks to buy a setup like that from you. Dont bother with the turbo conversion - if you really want to do that just go to the junkyard and buy a parts turbo car and swap all the parts in. Its seriously easier, more reliable, and cheaper.
