GKN lists some 968 Turbo S shafts in their Motorsports catalog but I've never seen them.
Porsche Motorsports made larger diameter axles with big inner CV joints and I think outer tripod joints for the 968 TRS cars.
Chris Cervelli may have some of these still. Motorsports sold all they had a couple of years ago.
SmartRacing can make larger diameter axles of 300M steel to fit any car.

If we could momentarily back track to Danno's compression ratio/boost discussion: If a person decided that his end rwhp goal was 300 and he wanted to retain the stock K26/6 (assuming it can flow 12-13psi to redline), would it not be beneficial to install higher (9.5) CR pistons? Would this not increase the initial low end torque when boost pressure is low and accentuate even small amounts of boost as the boost pressure rises to maximum?

I think this (beefier CV's) was chatted-up on another thread. If you shift the weak link from the easily accesible CV joint to the inside of you transmission - is this a good thing? Danno's got something there with the Ti "capacitor" maybe.

Wouldn't shaving the head also be a way of increasing compression?

Only if I drag race 'em

The GKN ones I currently got (non motorsport) seems to be holding up fine. One year without a break! I'm guessing the motorsport ones should be bulletproof.

Well, I guess that settles it!
