Do a search and there's a long thread about it (or a link to a long thread on Pelican..I forget, but I know it's posted in both places). I believe they are/were in the process of fitting it to a 951. They have one on a 911 running around.

They currently have a kit for the 930 and a twin kit for the Boxster.

IMA is also developing them for the 968, 996 and 997.

Yeh i think a aerocharger is a reasonable alternative to a 3.0 conversion the biggest one is about right for a 2.5 and it would give the fat midrange.
They are to expensive to compare to other turbos they need to be compared to other mods ..
I think they are more suitable for custom turbo conversions like an S2000 miata lotus etc ..
In a custom application of 2.5 or less you could better justify the expense as they are compact and don't need oil .
In other news I've decided to drop my GT35vgt and go strait for the gt37vgt but once again i kind of feel these extravagant turbos are better suited to non turbo cars being converted .
so much good stuff go'es to waste and has to be made new all the plumbing the oil drian engine mount etc
