Honestly the G25-660 is a monster. The car has no business being any faster than it already is. We are waiting for some feedback from Garrett, and potentially TTRS cams could help. Transaxle is fine here but it might not be happy with a G30-660. Unless you are planning on a whole lot of tire and potentially aero i wouldn’t hesitate getting a G25-660, just make sure you go .92 housing.

I think the real question is, do we keep 01E related things here, or is there a thread somewhere we can hijack ....

That will have to be when we start the widebody build. That thing will DEFINITELY need it’s own thread.

Is this on stock VW cams, or does it have Cat Cams now?

Default Early 944 Tachometer wiring

Alright guys, here's how it's done. Green wire at the molex connector by the brake booster, snip snip, then run an extension wire into the cab to the blue/white wire on the tach/spd connector for the PE harness. Then, take the cluster out and snip the black wire seen here next to the solid green wire. Send 12 volts right to this guy and the tach will work. Easy

Wow, that’s a really good power band for stock cams!

Did you measure exhaust manifold pressure to see if it’s a turbo choke issue vs cams?

My money is on the turbo size. In my world, it needs a g30-770. Or gtx3576 g2

We haven’t yet but we are discussing it. We are going to start with the compressor speed sensor since it’s the easiest to do.

A G30-770 would be bananas haha. We need to find the actual limits of the engine before we do too much to Alan’s car. We are trying to get PE to let us throw an engine on their dyno to do some destructive testing

You need to measure the exhaust pressure before turbo vs intake boost.
