The prev. owner have tried the car against a 993tt on a track. It crushed the 993tt.
No affiliation.

No idea how your car is set up, and no way I can comment on the build. But I think we know there are plenty of "let's slap an aftermarket turbo system on with a reprogrammed ECU on a ~70-80K mile otherwise stock engine" conversions out there. Might be fine for the occasional romp, but things can go sideways yesterday at the first hint of hard, hard use.

Though we've never met (that I know of) I do think we both hear what each other is saying. My main point was long term reliability when putting a car under severe track use. Say 2-3K track miles per year, often above 90F ambient, and running lap record pace.

The prior owner had all of the nice fab work done for adding turbos. It's got to be one of the nicest (see sig) fab jobs I have ever seen. He put about 10k on the car and I tracked it a dozen times before tearing into it. The motor was flawless. I only tore into it out of fear. I think the tuning and octane can make or break a bolt on setup.

^^ With all that internal work done I wouldn't hesitate on a Protomotive or similar caliber setup. I have, in fact, hesitated on a Protomotive without all those internals. But like those above say, I hesitate due to track use, not street.
