i believe there is a turbo 993 cab (silver/red) that is occassionally listed on ebay.
i think it was a conversion by a good shop and seemed like a nice package if you want to go this route. I have no idea if its still available, nor have affiliation with it

Going to move forward with the mod. Got the Ok from the boss (wife). Ordered a lift. Going to order the Protomotive kit in January. Still leaning towards the turbo S spoiler. Cant wait to get this project under way. Will post photos of progress along the way. HOHOHO

If that Black CT3 is the one I am thinking of I have ridden in that car. I knew the guy who built it. It was a seriously fast car, and the sound it made was incredible...
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.

Another option is to use a air/water intercooler custom fabbed to fit under the stock lid.
discussed on Raptor's "Air:water intercooler" thread
Interested in knowing experience/thoughts about air:water intercoolers. Anyone do it and regret it? or satisfied with the set-up?
RLer poorb0yw (Princeton Wong) may be a great one to ask.
More discussion of his custom 993 & stealth intercooler installation on the "Speedster type 993 photo thread"
... 440 hp to the pavement!

Yep, that was my view. It was many many years ago. Was not long after it was built.
There was a tunnel between his place and mine, the sound through the tunnel was the best sound ever.....
The Pi Datalogging system in the car was something like $25k back then.

They are a very special car, you need to sync up and get along for the ride. 
I am trying to go through my old photo's to see if i have some pics of the car, I have a feeling most of those photo's are in a box back home in Australia..... i'll keep you informed.

Besides, you don't want a 500hp engine like this to sit around too long without appropriate exercise
