Those are 993 n/a heat exchangers. The passenger's side has the flanges rotated to fit our engines.
I'm in the middle of doing this conversion to my car with Ben's help. I'll post some pictures when I start the install. My car will be the first 965 to use this system so I'm working out a few details on how to do it.

Also, they're made from 409 stainless so the durability is excellent.
I'm also estimating they'll come in 25-30 Lb. lighter than stock.

Great minds....

I've wondered why this hasn't been done before.

Please let me know when you have this project finsihed. I'd love to know what you did for the heat and wastegate.

What material are you using for the short connection piece?



Regards,
Michael

I am assuming you are using 2 waste gates in this design? Why not just go twin turbo if your going through all this effort?

That collector (Turbo flange) is gonna kill your power. Is it bifurcated (divided) to the turbo??

I did a hack "equal length header" with divisable secondary ( in other words the lengths of the secondaries
compliment each other, even though not the same length). With few other mods, got 360 hp/350 tq where the rubber hits the road, not sure how that translates to crank hp, but a bit better than stock.

300 hp @ 4000
Peak hp @6000
