Timspu...thanks again for the compliments. With one kid in college and another entering this fall and with 5 air cooled 911's in the stable, something has got to go. So spread the word; you'll be doing someone a favor! Not sure if I mentioned, but the car has a cup clutch...part number 993.cup (as listed on the build sheet). Are you familiar with it?

deadhead1960,
I grew up in Tenafly... moved to Virginia in 1977.

My 1996 993 with TPC SC (old piggy back computer) was fine tuned and dyno'd at TPC with 322 rwhp non-intercooled. I did match the ports and smoothed internal welds, etc...

Nice car, Nice price, Good Luck

mr_bock..you can appreciate the fact that [garage] space is at a premium here. Always shuffling my cars around. Where do you track your 993?

Nice to see you here, Jay, welcome aboard. After hanging here for awhile, you may end up selling something else and keeping the Turquoise ....

AXL911, very good question, My car has been rolling roaded on a MAHA Dyno which i have found out does not tend to give high HP figures. My car is loosing 70 bhp through transmission losses which appears correct as per the normal 20% figure. My tuner has stated if i want more BHP then put it on another rolling road. This i have yet to do as my bottom dyno tells me the car is quick and you are right my intercooled power is right to the red line @5psi. It appears all Dyno's give different figures.
My car standard was putting out 220 BHP at the wheels which based on 20% losses is equal to my standard 272 BHP at the flywheel.
Looking forward to the summer coming, need some roof down cruising..

deadhead1960,

I did have my car's up at Summit Point a few times a few years ago, but not recently. Been very busy with other 'stuff'.

For me and my 993, putting the TPC Supercharger on was the Best Performance Mod that can be done.

Agreed...and I'm sure someone will appreciate the value of this car for what it is. Not too many one owner, low mileage coupes with no paintwork and a supercharger for less than $35k...in fact I don't know of any, other than mine! Did you see my listing in the classified section?
