I have only dyno'd the car in it's mid boost map where it made 418 rwhp at 15 psi of boost. This is in line with the Excellence article on the car. The magazine said it had 479 hp in high boost mode and I think that is believable for a rwhp number. According to the article I have to run race fuel to get there and that is why I have not ran it in the 3rd map yet.

awesome car.
i was wondering if any of you all have any favorite transmission guys.
bit of a repost. i'm pretty happy at the moment.
today was a very good day because i saved almost $2 k on some critical parts for building a close replica of the "968 Turbo S" box....
i purchased two very hard to source, Audi S4 2.7 twin-turbo 01E 300 045G - 5th and 6th gearsets... w/ 5th perfect, 0.806, and 6th: 0.684 gears.... and what made it really special was
that i paid for only 400 dollars for the 2 gearsets ! (good things come w/ over a year waiting) !!
these two sets will set you back almost two grand from the dealer,
and it's almost impossible to get people to part the transmissions for their fertile gearsets...

audi ratios table: http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/
win for the seller as he gets to keep the box for a customer who wants it for shorter track gears...
these are basically the most usefull gearsets that will swap into the stock 968 box forturbo, supercharger or LSx projects and 170-190 mph top speeds.
5th gear becomes a very usable highway gear, quite a bit taller than the stock 968 5th gear and will take the car easily to 80~120 mph (about 150 at redline ?) before changing to top gear and 6th tops out at about 180 mph at 6000 rpm for running the 275-35-18 tire....
don't yet have the horsepower to make use of the gears. but sometime in the future as i now have a fresh transmission on the side w/ only 48 k miles for installing the gears. or i can use my existing box and get a full rebuild.
Erik, best wishes and good luck with your car.

Long time, no forums for me. I just purchased a 700 hp 996 Turbo and am considering selling the KMR 968 Turbo. It sits in the garage with the other cars is isn't being driven much. Thought I would float the idea here in case anyone was interested. Send me a PM if you are serious. Don't need to sell but figure it might be time to let her go. It's about as famous and unique a 968 as you are going to find.

Was looking at the recent BAT purchases of 944 Turbos and 968's and thought I would bump this up again in case someone was looking for a really one off car. Send me a PM with an offer if you are interested in this beauty.
