I just picked up my 951 from the shop 2 days ago and they put the K27/6 from Powerhaus in. I told them I wanted to use only for the street and I dont expect to see any track work. Im having the car dynoed (is that how you spell it?) on Saturday and I can give you the results if you like. Send me an e-mail. One thing maybe different from yours is that I have 2.8L engine. In the future I will put in larger injectors and a MAF with the chips. For now the only other upgrade is an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Car feels strong but I will know the real results in a few days.

I have a K27 "DR" (David Raines) if anyone is interested.
It has a modified K27 compressor with a K26 turbine, good for about 380hp @ 22psi, according to David Raines from Powerhaus.
Great upgrade for a 951. It has just 6k miles on it.
Asking $850.

That is the most accurate way anyone has ever described the 27/6. 380 crank @22 psi.

LR is currently in process of tweaking on my 89 S with K27/8.

I was having a LOT of trouble getting it dialed in. They found the cam and balance shaft were advanced one tooth.

Anyway...
With stock injectors it took 70psi to keep it from leaning out on the top end.

For those that might be interested the AutoThority MAF is a 30c sensor.

I don't bother with these old turbos anymore.
Not when ceramic ball bearing turbos can be had for $1300

380 crank hp is very believable, but 22# of boost? Not without water or alcohol injection

It is humorous because it seems as though he is suggesting acheiving 22psi on a 951 is reasonable.
