3.0 turbo completed
Well guys, my 3.0 turbo is finally done. Just running in now but mid range torque is up and the turbo spools up nicely with very little lag. The car feels a little agricultural compared to the old 968 engine but I hope to improve on that as we improve the mapping once its run in and I get it to the dyno for a proper session.

Thanks Guys.
You have both helped with this project in different ways and I really appreciate it. Raj you are welcome anytime. Damian, no reason why we can't do both if they are still both working next time you are here. The boat can be a little harsh though, many people come off worse for wear whereas the 968 will still retain a degree of comfort!!
On a side note I had a 996 turbo S cab for a few hours the other night. What great fun that was winding it up to 160 and seeing how hard it could pull to 100 with the pedal to the metal!! Nice to have for comparison for when mine is running full boost.

Nick,
Congat's and welcome to the warm side of the turbo world! I've been really happy with mine, and it comes as quite a surprise to many folk who don't expect a 968 to behave the way only a turbo can.
By the way, the 996 Turbo S you drove the other night...were you referring to KPH (Kilometers per Hour) or MPH (Miles Per Hour)?
What turbo did you decide on for your car?
Nice Holiday present to say the least!
Jason

Very nice Nick, hope you get it all sorted soon. I love the description "agricultural" , it had me laughing out loud when I read your post on the UK forums.
