Yes a 968 Turbo. There is another! I'm new to this forum stuff! The orig turbo engine came from one of the 12? factory 8v turbos that was built. This car was built to run the 24 of Rolex in 2000 by its orig owner.

It was in my Blue 968 bodied GT3 car. I would post pics but I dont know how to yet. Can someone help?
I had the motor in the car up until Sebring last year when I felt it would be best to save it and pull it out before something happened to it. I have been building a 2.6 motor to stay in GT3. We had it done for this year at Sebring but had some overheating issues that sidelined us for the race.
