Turbo crowd is THE crowd.

John, the offer stands, ok?

Fun aside, enjoy it immensely. I think you found a fantastic car. Lucky that the sultan didn't make it very "nouveau riche"..

Yes, 155 total production.

Of these how many have you come across in your your research.
We are only aware of mine in the UK porsche club.If most went into racing then maybe few are left?.Please send me a private message if you want more details - vin no etc. I have spoken to customer service at Porsche HQ and asked for more details but was told they could only give me factory specifications and options, i was hoping they could tell me more about who ordered it but thats"not available".

I am not aware of other X88 optioned cars but then I have not tried to track them. I have a few photos of non-flatnose 1994 Turbo S cars (ROW cars not USA package cars) but it is difficult to authenticate them. If I can get enough info on authenticated cars then maybe I could start a section on the website. You can email me the info on your car to flachbau@comcast.net. Authentication would also be good once you get it. Did you check for the engine type stamp?

Could be the pressure pump for the ABS.
