Ridiculous 944/951 "advice" on eBay
This eBay dude/seller, 9xauto.com, has this advice article for 944 owners. With excellent command of the English language and a firm grasp on cause and effect relationships, this guy is a real winner.

Some highlights:
"Without these changes you cannot continue with further modifications.
All listed parts must be replaced. Do not assume they are ok. If they are original, they must go."
"944T Consider Authority’s double chip system for great HP improvement. NOTE: an electronic BOOST CONTROLER will significantly reduce the life of your engine. You just have to except your "turbo lag". 944 4-cyl engine is too small for "aggressive boost"."
"Extreme modification would be considered installing a NITROS kit in to 944na. In fact it works very well. However, the down side, it will become "street illegal" in many states, unless you are good enough to hide your hardware. Also, 10 LB bottle is enough for 3 minutes of continuing boost. An increase of 170 HP. We think it is enough. However, the NITROUS could be set up to work in a TUBO mode by increasing gradually with RPM. Small bursts of energy for quick passing on the open road can keep your bottle filed for a month. In this case you would need PROGRESSIVE NITROUS CONTROLER. As far as a SUPER CHARGER, we believe selling your 944 na and adding $4000 for a would be supercharger, will buy you a nice original 944 TURBO.
Most of the above modifications are reasonably priced and available."
"For 944 NA install 3" header header which must be pained with ceramic coating. (A MUST) "
"Change all fuel injectors to NEW and not rebuilt.
(Rebuilt injectors are fine if done by Python Injection. Python replaces inner parts to New. Only outside shell is re-used.)"
