Thanks Guys, means a lot to get Rennlist approval!

The thread linked is a simple version, it wasnt so simple - but you know that.
The amount of small 951 parts needed makes this an almost impossible task.
Im lucky as my friend "parts out?" 944s for a living.

nice work, although i would have done some things differently. such as not put in the stock turbo and go for a custom better one that bolts in. i wouldn't have used the stock wastegate.

^^^ The factory bits were just to get it going, check faults ect...
I am now buying a custom/hybrid k26 and the a dp gate.
The turbo and gate will cost almost as much as the whole engine conversion - so ive left it until last.
