Default 890 rwhp 993tt?

I'm not sure if this is a vanity site or a for sale ad, but check out this car:

http://insaneturboporsche.com/

He claims 890 rwhp. Anyone know the car or owner?

Very strong engine and great mods, but just the same as the other 3.8 twin plug big turbo proto engines, about 620+ real HP at sub 1.2 bar. 890HP at 2Bar and Bang!

I've seen it dyno on youtube I think.

I don't trust bling HP though- usually involves some insane "correction factor" for drivetrain loss. 890 at the wheels? give me a break. how you would drive that on actual roads...

or maybe the dude takes it drag racing and that's why only "500 miles since conversion"
aka biggest waste of $ ever.
