Damn..........

But doesn't that (kinda) pisses you off since you (and JChen and others) worked you asses to make that turbocharger fit?

Makes one REALLY want one

No im not mad.

Sure its a easyer bolt on.
Since you don't have to modify the cross over pipe.
But you still have to modify the turbo mount and oil / water line.

I am actually very happy this is out. Its a great step ahead for the Porsche tuning world.

How often do the ball bearing turbos need to be rebuilt. Seems like people have them rebuilt a lot. My turbo is shot. The seals are horrible. I loose oil like it is my cars job when I am on boost at the track with my k26/6.

Well, it may not be 100%, but neither are 90% of any aftermarket turbocharger out there

The real pain of this is making the mount Edman. But
it gonna be less painful now. BTW, I think I experience
the most pain cause I choose to go with a T04S cold side
T25 hotside.

NZ, true SFR does offer bolt on GT turbo. But you have to get the crossoverpipe from him i think.

JChen, yes your install was the hardest. T04S is a big housing under a stock manifold.
Mine went pretty good.
