Funny, I was thinking the same thing!

Then I was wondering if Patrick was using Kangaroo HP...Or, is that Kiwi HP?!!

I will be upgrading to SFR's Intake and downpipe so I can run full Garrett or whatever turbo I want in the future.

Where did you hear this? I spoke with Pete at Andial this week and he said the Carrillos he orders are still made here. Maybe there is some other production rod Carrillo is having China do, even so it would be shocking.

Fascinating project. There have been posts from time to time by German-based 968 Turbo connoisseur, Konstantin K., whom I'm sure you're aware of.

On one occasion I recall him mentioning some specific information he had obtained from the factory regarding the engineering of the 968 Turbo RS that was further proof that during the 911 revival era Porsche aborted further development on the car because it was too good!
