I just spoke to the Protomotive guys. They are emailing the info on the kit. At $12K ish it is a bargain. Ive always wanted to do a turbo install on a car. Ive read some of the posts on Rennlist by guys that have installed this. Time to research....
Im also going to research the TPC kit. Hum to Turbo or Supercharge??

While the engine will fit in the NA body you will need a fixed tail make room for the intercooler.
A plus for you is that your car is OBD-II as will be your donor engine management system (I considered this long ago but nixed the idea because my car is OBD-I and I didn't like the look of the fixed tail).
In my opinion, this swap will net you some advantages over a 993TT in steering/clutch/shifter feel.
Good luck

That's good to know. I was also thinking about gearing, too, to take optimal advantage of the turbo power/torque.

Depending on how much "too much more HP" we're talking about here, steel synchros would also be necessary. In fact they'd probably be necessary sooner than a cooler, unless you're hitting the track pretty heavily.

I think im heading towards the turbo kit. I think I would really enjoy installing myself over the winter. Really like Todd at Protomotive. Might upgrade to the high flow fuel injectors. Not thrilled about the turbo tail, but I think I can live with it. Started working on convincing the wife I really need this.

I'm with you on this. You might want to check these guys out and the "sleeper" TT mod. No affiliation BTW...

I would like to drop a turbo motor into my '96 C4S -- Chris/any other of the experts -- would that be easier with the wide body and 4WD system already in place???
FWIW I don't like the wing at all -- is it really necessary?
