The car looks good, the mileage looks good, and price isn't bad. But I doubt the HP claims because all they describe is bigger turbos, sports cats/exhaust,and presumably an ECU upgrade. My prior 993TT had those mods and came up to about 475HP. A ruf modified 993TT claims 495HP. Even my prior Ruf 996 Rturbo only managed 550HP with bigger turbos, cats, ECU upgrade. Could 600HP+ be attained using some high octane fuel and overboost (which could deteriorate engine fast).

I'm trying to contact sales people for more specifics. But perhaps this car is known or discussed previously here. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, Paul

 

Boost controller jobbie, i'd hate to think what boost they ran through that to make it post 600 on a chassis dyno.... Love the 'overtake boost button', very 'Knight Rider'... I'd give it a very wide birth, BS figures and fixed boost

 

the hp is bull****, especially with the stock IC.

the car looks pretty clean.

But what the hell is up with the oil temperature.

Pegged to the max on the gauge with the oil pressure at basically 1 bar.

 

Quad,

Great catch on the oil temp. It sure is a nice looking car.

 

could be a funky gauge (one would hope), but the corresponding low oil pressure makes me wonder.

Even sitting in traffic on the hottest days, my car doesn't go over about 220 degrees.

 

Looks like the calipers have recently been painted/upgraded.

good find David.

Certainly seems to be running hot in the other listing too and oil pressure is in the basement.

Furthermore, they state the car has a free flow exhaust, but in the video it sure is quiet.

Finally, looks like it has the original-not orange top boost hoses.

 

Comments much appreciated, thank you. Sent a PM to seller, but no response. Unfortunately, things are smelling a tad fishy. Even a 3.8 twin plug Andial transformation doesn't produce 600HP but try telling a gadfly salesperson that. I'll update if/when I learn more.

 

Not true, it is in writing on the internet
1996 Andial 3.8 Turbo 630Hp

 

And we're off.....

 

That place doesn't have a good rep with the chicago guys. I'd keep looking

 

Ouch, that was a hit on me where's the love.

Here my new Signature block; 1996 Andial 3.8 Turbo 500 to 600Hp but we can't be sure. Hp is subject to change without notice.

 

I thought that the Andial 3.8 cars have over 600 hp with the correct DME and race fuel. Right?

 

So do their owners

 

Come on Toby, what did those Andial guys ever do to you
