It's a transaxle.. there is no axle ratio. The final drive is 3.37:1 on the turbos. I think the cheapest solution is to drop in a used S2 tranny (which has a ~3.8).

I'm saying there IS no rear ratio 
. I do not know if you can pull the R&P out of the tranny and put one in from an S2. I have heard that the NA pre-S2 R&P is not strong enough for the turbos. It's something I would like to do myself, actually, if it were possible.

I have a Car and Driver from 87 with a test of a 944 turbo S and on the test car the customer that ordered it requested a final-drive ratio of 3.89:1, the stock final-drive
was 3.38:1 so I think it should be possible to change the final-drive ratio.
