I'm watching it too...these kits are very rare, but its really a legitimate answer to the question "How do I turbo my N/A?"

Oh and it puts out more power than a stock 951

the only thing that is worth it in the kit is the microfueler add on unit... otherwise it just looks like junk they rigged up a turbo setup and used a callaway wastegate...

I think this engine would be perfect -- for a museum.

I think that belonged to an old-time RLer (Porsche-o-phile). He always thought about doing the swap as a 'fun project', but never found the time to do it.

I always wanted to turbo my n/a but everyone said too much stuff was too different. Wiring harnesses etc. I guess this is the easy to turbo your car. 280HP at the wheels wouldn't be too bad
