Sure can! Purchase a 991.1 Carrera - GTS, GT3 and its varieties, or a 991.2 GT3 and it's varieties.... and you will be the proud new owner of a 991.1 or .2 with deleted turbos

In for entertainment....

Seriously though they did announce that the 4.0l in the GT4 will be used in additional models.... How awesome would that be in a Carrera T?

You sure could and then you would be left with a 3.0 L Turbo engine with about as much power as an '85 SC...

Also, can you remove the engine and replace the brake and accelerator with bicycle pedals with the right gearing? That would be a big hit at the Tour de France.

This is a dumb question unless it is a joke, in which case it is still dumb.

I would beg to disagree - OP asked said question, and thus it is no longer a dumb question

I question OP's sincerity as he's asking the same question in other subforums.

If one is daydreaming and don't care for feasibility or cost, Keep the turbos, use GT4 parts and make it a Carrera 4L TT...
