Default Cayenne Turbo

I was surprised one could hang on my *** passing a few cars @ 8psi on a 60-1 hifi. I mean yeah, the car is slow as hell at 8 psi but I thought the Cayenne would still be somewhat of a pig.............Nice work Porsche

You would be amazed how those things handle on a skidpan - they are surprisingly agile and grippy.

The turbo's have the automatic air suspension. When you get into highway speeds the vehicle automatically squats to provide better driving characteristics.

They are quick. Even though they are heavy, they've got 450hp. The power to weight ratio is very respectable.

yup, and I think the new Turbo S models are putting out 550 now... that is just downright fast!

I dunno if it would work or not, I'm sure you could get it to fit but no telling how much work it may take... go for it and let us know how it turns out!

They are very fast I just beat a new SS camaro in my CTTS cayenne with the P0344 error present ( cam sensor down on bank 1) so meaning I was vario cam-less Now I am back to FULL POWER replaced the sensors! But to me it is still not the fun of a 951.

The turbo ehgine in a 944 ...hmmm I think will be a no no. I tried to mock one up but the engine seams to be toooo wide to fit without MAJOR modification to the front end but it would make a unstoppable 944!
