Anyone in CT / NJ / New England with a supercharged or turbo-conversion?
Hey folks,
I'm wondering if there's anyone around Southern Connecticut... going all the way up to S. Vermont, or down to N. New Jersey who runs a SC or a Protomotive turbo conversion on their 993 who wouldn't mind getting together and taking me out for a ride?
I know you guys all think I'm crazy for all the stuff I've been doing to my poor car, but I'm thinking about doing this as well - LOL! This time at least I'm trying to be more patient and do more first-hand research...
Cheers!

There is one at Stratham Porsche on consignment. Saw it in the showroom when I picked a key I had ordered.

Search for Toddster in the forum. He's local, but not sure how active he is on here.

Cosmosmoon,
I don't live near you (Florida) but I have had TPC's Supercharger on my 1996 993 for many years. IMHO, it was the best Bang for the Bucks that I did. It will not out run any of the newer turbos, but it is a hoot to drive. I have driven it on all of the Summit Point tracks, Sebring tracks and a SSCA PDX on the Daytona track. Some years ago I took the car up to 180 mph (speedo max) and still had one thousand rpm to red line. After the SC was installed, I had TPC do a final Dyno and tweak that gave 322 rwhp.
Highly recommended!!!!!

Unfortunately the little red terror is out of commission, about to rebuild the steering rack on her. Happy to answer what i can for you though.

Oh you're super-close. I have a niece in Redding and a sister in Bethel, I'm up that way all the time. I'll PM you! If doing the steering yourself and need a hand w. anything I'd be happy to help. My car is going under the knife for "model re-assignment" surgery next week, and I have no idea when I'll get it back, but hopefully it won't be long!

If you want to come all the way down to Exit 2 on the NJTP, I'd be happy to take you out in a Protomotive twin turbo car. 7psi, stock compression, 60k miles on the build. It made 325whp on a low reading Mustang dyno when it was AWD. It is RWD now. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I had a 993 protomotive TT install on an N/A engine. 330 whp and tq on a mustang drove nicely. Performance was nice but I personally would not go that route. Mine ended up failing due to some improper workmanship. The build was primitive with things I found I would never have accepted if I knew in advance. The I/C was huge and did little to nothing as the design was not the best and so much I can go on that was wrong about it.
I would look into other solutions.

Are there other solutions for 993 power-adders?
