Default can I turbo my 993 NA?

This was a friends car. I couldn't believe how well he picked up welding. He passed me up in quality almost immediately.. Princeton Wong has some skills. I think his old posts from 2002-3 are in the 993 forum. I was happy to see my name mentioned in the article. - Bruce - It was about my influence of weight reduction on the project. - of course- shocking eh? But it's a great article about a great car built in Houston in what started out as mine and Brad's shop Autologic. Later Jason's and Brads shop. Pictures are on Main street downtown Houston. Excellent photowork.

I followed the build on Pelican when he first started it, always wondered how it turned out! This car was my desktop background for a long time, love how it's evolved with the huge wing now. Really is one badass machine!

A shame he was only working with a limited budget due to college... lol

Love to see some video. A cage and Halo is just masochism on the street though.

power numbers are low. he never turned up the boost. It has MoTeC, but he has babied it since completion. I believe this car is more a sense of accomplishment, than I'm faster than so and so. I think it sits at 4psi. But I don't know if it gets driven much.

This is the car that was at Secret Services dyno day. Princeton moved from Houston, but left his car and a friend of his drives it now.

Jason drives it every now and then. Jason from the article. He has been one of Houstons "Go-to" guys for a very long time.

I've still yet to really meet anyone Porsche related here in Houston besides the guys at Protechnik.
Though I've stopped by Secret Service to talk about having my car tuned. (not exactly Porsche related, but same guy who helped tuned that 993)
