The new Turbo S is an unbelievable car.... I have instructed students with late model Turbos and they do EVERYTHING very, very well. PSM is amazing as it kicks in and "corrects" in a corner as needed, The ABS is light years better than anything ever used on a 928. The only down point is no spare tire...... And the best part is it is NEW , all the rubber bits are NEW , electrical NEW , engine NEW,transmission is NEW and designed to handle the power. And yes it comes with a warranty. Absolutely an AWESOME ride. In my opinion aftermarket blowers and turbos are best suited for people who like to tinker with their cars and really enjoy the process as much or more than the result. Buy the Turbo !

Impressive, how many are out there?
His last customer got 660rwhp on a dynapack. Engine is stock '87 S4 still on original head gasket I believe (Tuomo has had another engine built to drop in with custom everything in it (cams, pistons, rods etc.), but we've had no updates from him in a while 
)

It may be a Porsche and a 928 but it is 21 years old and the engine harness is cooked and brittle and putting on a blower is not going to make that or any number of other things any better. Will the head gaskets live ?....maybe. Will the old radiator cool the extra power? maybe. Is the trans going to hold up ? maybe. Is it going to start and run and be as reliable as a new car ???? NEVER ! The S-4 which Mr Kuhn bought and turboed had over $10,000 worth of work by Greg Brown not long before he got it. Plus with an aftermarket blower to whom must you take it to get any work done ? Your 500 miles away from home and have a problem. So you rent a U-haul truck and trailer to get it home.....

$160K+ vs $8K+. If you have the money and don't care about depreciation over the next couple of
years then the new turbo S would be great fun. But unfortunately I don't have that luxury, but then
you may...
