Default 26/8 VS 26/6

I have a 26/8 "Cheater with a Garret wheel and bearings?" Should I have it and the seals on my oil seperator replaced when I have the Clutch Slave & Master fixed?

I am a little confused by your question, but if you are pulling your turbo then you absolutely should replace your AOS seals. Good time to clean your grounds too since you'll have great access to them.

Personally.. I wouldn't bother with upgrading to a k26/8. At the very least I would consider upgrading to a k27 turbo.

Thanks
Well I am in Germany and taking it to a Porsche Dealership. Yeaaaaaaaaaa....I know.....!

Well, my clutch pedal has convincied me that I should have not left the Motiv bleeder at www.father-sons.com w/Peter Senser!

OK that is over, I will have a shop do this I have a K26/8 rebuilt..."Cheater"..."Garret Wheel & Bearings"...here with me. The "Wrench will be in there." What ever ideas you give me I am putting part #s with and orders to do (Macht)!

So....!

I have a TIAL 38mm and Greddy EBC prefec-B but I was not going to do that.

The deal is MON-FRI the wrench (@the Porsche Dealership) has my 951 and I have a "beater rental"! The Porsche Dealership can have any part in 24hours as PORSCHE INC is 80 KM away.

So Should I just go all the way with the **** I got or not?

SchnellerUmsetzer, did I by chance sell you that cheater turbo awhile back? I was just curious as I remember selling to someone in Germany. I did a bit more checking after selling it, and apparently I believe the turbo has a Garrett Gt28RS compressor wheel installed, though I can't remember if the turbine was stock /8 or not. It was newly rebuilt and never used by me (if it's the turbo I sold) so it shouldn't need a rebuild if that's what your asking. According to my calculations, it should be able to push just over 300whp but, probably not too much more than that, especially with an otherwise stock car just running more boost.

Cool! Just fyi but, the turbo was built by these people: Majestic Turbo The previous owner is the one that had it built by them so I myself didn't do anything but resell it after deciding to go bigger. Just let me know if you have any questions or anything and I'll do my best to help out. Hehe, with turbo placement in these cars it seems like you have to look for an excuse to replace the turbo as it's kind of a pain!

I don't understand why you would think about not doing it?

Head machined ported & polished, valves 3 angle grind angle. With an Accuboost set at 1 BAR Authority II Stage II chips, 3 BAR FPR, Venturi delete + Lindsey vac kit, and K&N Cone it runs pretty!
