ok so after lots of trouble shooting i found 1 bad spark plug wire, a warped intake flange and a turbo drain feed that at a 1/2" i thought was large enough turned out to be to small. apparently the holset needs a larger drain. the drain to AN fitting needed to be on an angle to clear the compressor housing. the hole drilled is much to small on the fitting before the hose so i need to figure out that solution asap. also found my newly "rebuilt" turbo has excessive shaft play. now i could be mad at the seller but im thinking it was probably from the oil backing up constantly as the turbo seemed to be working fine originally but then again i had the intake leak so never really boosted it . anyway ordered a rebuild kit and hope to have it all back lined out this weekend.

The simple route would have been to use the tub to rebody a totaled 993.

This route really explores ones abilty to hot rod!

The straight through exhaust was awfully loud at idle so i added a bullet resonator and it worked out perfectly. car is very respectable on idle.



pics with bumper on and tips cut down and straight.

Just a random thought but are you sure there is not too much oil flow to the turbo? Maybe a restrictor is in order?

ya know that very well could be. i know with similar set ups some guys need to and some dont. i think it comes down to feed line size. i want to add a gauge to feed line so that should help me out. took it out before on a test cruise and im finally getting it into boost

no pics from underneath. Im using G50-01 with a KEP stg2 clutch/flywheel combo. As far as i know they only make adapters for the 915 and G50 boxes.
