Newbie here, stopping in to say hi
I just read a very awesome article on here about a S/C for the 928, so I had to join and learn more about the cars. I am 26 from Dallas area, graduate in a month as a Finance major, looking for a kick *** job to finance my toys. The 928 was bought new by my pops in Dallas in 1986, and is mine on the day I graduate! Looking to do some minor things to it, but don't want to loose any of it's easy driving demeanor. Adding 150 RW via a blower sounds fun though if it doesn't break anything. 928s aren't cheap!

Welcome. The super charger guys will likely pipe up. Seems that you can get to 400 RWHP pretty easily with no damage. A guy on here sells total kits and put one on a car with over 200K and once complete drove it across contry with no worries.
Cheers,
Cheers,

Welcome to the board! If I can make one suggestion, then it would be to do a search here on K&N filters. You might want to rethink using one on your 928, given the risks involved.

My dad spoke of that a few years back about them not being good, what is wrong with them? I am doing a search now, thanks for the heads up!

I would be one to recommend not using the K&N - I didn't wait long enough for the oil to soak in apparently, and some got pulled through and fouled my MAF - $350 later, it's back to normal.
Anyways, welcome to the board fliegen - I have a feeling you might find yourself in the 928 more than in the rest of your fleet. Good luck with the SC - I am planning on doing the same on my 87 in the not too distant future. Keep us posted!

Yea Bill, I am leaning towards the Murph kit, it seems the best thought out, and I like the centrufigual S/C pull like the car is going to lift off... imagine it in a 408 stroker 3300 lb car with 20 psi...
