Default is more power possible

i have a 951 that is in the process of being restored, it had an engine fire and was stored in a garage for the last ten years. it only has 43k miles on it, buyt thats beside the point
my uncle has a 924 turbo that he's willing to sell me very cheap, because it needs trans work. and i dont mind getting my hands dirty as seen with the 951.
anyways, this 924 turbo can be running with very little work, and i was wondering if theres anything that can make it perform anywhere near a 951. and if so what are the mods.

Sure is! Add an IC and reduce weight. If you really want to go crazy, a new modern engine management system to run it harder. Oh, yeah, with plumbing and sheetmetal work a 951 IC can be made to fit in the nose - mimicing the 924GTS. Come over to the Dark Side of cheap thrills, play with us.

Side note - is it a 1980? May be easiest to swap in a 944 trans than repair that trans (dogleg first gear). Info on all that at 924.org.

Give into the dark (cheap) side. Go for it. It'll be nice to see another stealth 931 setup around.
