My $.02, and 2nd another post is send the motor to Colin at Ninemeister. All of the turbo and supercharged kits seem hoakey to me - 7th injector and all.
Another guy that seems to be holding out on all of us is Geoffry Ring. He has his damn name - next to Colin's - on the 9m Stinger engine.
About the only way I would go for a true TT motor is to figure out how to clone an Andial motor.

Not so Steve. When mine had the dual mass flywheel it was no harder than my former NA cars. With my lwf set up, it is 30% harder. The RUF folks say that they actuaaly prefer it to the assisted clutch.

Here's your TT rear wing:

Now there's that small issue of a healthy donor engine...

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.
Been there, done that, could write a book.

I don't think Ruf does the turbo conversion on the 993 anymore ... but TechArt might; it would be worth a call to Joe Vatter at GermanTech in Tampa Bay FL ... he handles TechArt and gave me a ride in a worked over 993 one time that was very memorable. I believe it was a supercharged car, but I'm not 100 percent sure. But it was a rocket, and beautifully done. Tell him Vic says hi if you do.

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

I'm acquainted with TurboKraft's owner & that 'sleeper' Guards Red NB.From Raptor's "Air:water intercooler" thread...
At the Dana Point Concours, Speedy was placed next to an AZ-owned narrow-body 993 with air:wate intercoolers, as well as a twin-turbocharged 'stealthy' installation that retained the O.E.M. movable spoiler.
It was featured in Excellence Magazine's April 2006 issue.
Information on the build can be found on TurboKraft.com: "Mike's 1995 Carrera 2 Twin Turbo "Sleeper"."
I didn't get to meet the 993s' owner, Mike, but the guys there representing Turbo-Kraft seemed great, & passionate about performance Porsche modifications.
The water reservoirs were engineered into the front bumper.

Vic-- Sounds like Joe at GermanTech's a great friend to have 
If you got a ride in the pictured CT3, it was indeed supercharged. My friend has a yellow one just like that.
Below is a black version that RLer Q advertised. (It has less-typical TechArt bodywork, for a CT3.)
For high-res versions of Q's stunning photography of this tuned 993, see his "993 Techart CT3 - Supercharged" page.

super-rare & ultra-fast 993.
