Don't waste your time with a S turbo. The K27/6 spooled better than the K26/8 on one of my cars. It could have been the new chips, FPR, downpipe, etc. to allow the K27/6 to run properly, but just putting in an S turbo will just give you more lag and a few more hp on top. LR shows an S car with basic mods with 300whp. Hard to believe, but you know how dyno's are.........

I meant no harm with my post stating that this is not really a good upgrade. If the price is good, and he wants this part....all is good.

Know, at times, it's a tough place to state your experience and knowledge with these cars. I've been around the block with these cars, three of them, all modded during different times from the early 90's to now. Know I've owned about ten great sports cars since my first 951. My wife would tell you it's over 20, but some of them were to sell for a profit.

The 951 is my favorite sports car, so I've scrivened my own ride with tasteful mods, most factory parts from the best of the Porsche Motorsports parts bin to fit within the boundaries of my current 951. Most of the parts are 968 and 911TT, but it's still a 951 body.

Waste of money to most, but it's my ride and my decision to build the best of the front engine water cooled rear transaxle car in current times. These cars are a blast to drive when the power is equal to the braking and suspension.

When I post, I'm attempting to help the guy who posted with advice based on my experience.
