It would be interesting to see how someone like Special Tool would go with water injection...

I can see that line turn into a classic.

Everyone else out there better hurry up and turn up the boost before we run out of air.

A 951 CUP oil pan was put in.

Also recipt says a manifold (951 110 152 04) was put in but I cant find a description of this in the catalogue (perhaps this is a normal 951 part from Porsche)
Curious, Andial installed a 26/8 when they built your 2.8.

FYI, the manifold part# you listed is a Motorsports piece--it is from the Turbo Cup and is magnesium, like your Cup pan (p/n 944 101 201 16).

They are dirty smelly people that invade a country, drink all our beer, root all our hoe bags, and buy all our crappy visitor merchandise. They come from the UK.

Kind of crazy to put an oil pan like that on a street car.. I wonder what the cost was in 1991 for it.

I certainly do! I am not looking forward to going into the city today, there will be millions of camper vans and FROZEN white pommys around. Should be funny though.

I believe in 91 the best turbo available for the build was the one from the 89S so thats what they used. Seems they didnt spare much expense in building this engine and if there was a better turbo available I dont see why they wouldnt have used it.

Thanks for the info on the manifold. What is the benefit of it been magnesium?
