Very cool! The true test will be dyno results though. Vitesse has set the mark with his turbo kits, so there will have to be some serious benefits to this setup to make it cost effective.

The good thing is this is just the start, where LOTS of guys have come on promised the world and never delivered, these guys are doing it, showing it, and about to sell it. I respect them for putting their money where their mouth is... if ya get what I mean?
Mike you are right about Vitesse, the dyno will need to be impressive from PD... I have no idea what it will make! I am guessing a lot though.

The questions also i just noticed will that TB clear my compressor housing on the turbo? I had to countersink the screws for the return spring to get enough clearance.

I think a 65mm TB could fit onto our cars with no adapter plate if the mounting holes were drilled as close to the bore as possible.
The way they drilled the one in the picture wouldn't work, but I think they have enough room to drill it properly for a stock intake manifold.
Nice stuff...

Sweet stuff. esp. the TB and intake.....which if I'm looking at it right apears to be already set up for dual injectors on each cyl!?!? oh man......I wonder if I really need BOTH my kidneys....
One thing though, what's the advantage to having the wastegate moved up by the turbo? Seems like it would just increase the temps in that area. If your going to have it that close just use an internal WG turbo.

Yup Stephen, staged injection right there... nice stock injectors for idle, and a slightly bigger set when you need it... just lovely. The new Link G2 can manage all that IIRC... I am hoping Neil will come on the forum and answer some of these questions! I will poke him with a stick and see if he can make some comments

Would this be the Performance Developments in Costa Mesa?

I have no experience with them nor can I attest to the validity of the comments in that thread. It is just something I saw on the 911 board.
On a lighter note, I think that stuff looks pretty interesting. The TB has my attention.

I just went over to see what the guy wrote on the 911 board and its an apology. There is always two sides to a disagreement.
If I can without getting flamed I would like to add something here about PD in their defense.
I have known Neil for a long time, and the one thing I can tell you is that he is the most honest person you could meet. His work speaks for its self. His credentials and experience are some of the best. Who on these boards has built race winning engines at the level he has. His experience covers F1 with 2 world championship titles, Indy/Cart, Indy Pole and Cart wins, IMSA, BTCC, Japanese TCC, and so on.
Yes it does cost, but quality isn't cheap and you get what you pay for. Look at what has been posted here for us 944 owners. For someone to who is used to doing work for engines at a way higher level, to do what he has done for us 944 owners speaks to his love and committment of his craft. No ego there.
