Congrats on getting it back. You did the right thing and you're right - it's an absolute monster. Any word as to why the guy that did the conversion sold it so quickly?

Not a Turbo R. That's a re-working using the stock 3.6 litre motor. This is a 3.8 conversion - new pistons, cylinders, etc. It was a very cool process to watch. Ruf Dallas did the conversion.

The owner that did the conversion simply likes to get something new every year or so ....he liked the car...

Nice, my build is very similar with the exception of the cats, mine are not stock. Enjoy!

So this is a Ruf turbo, but not a Ruf turbo R. So a Ruf turbo 3.8. Might be cool to have a 3.8 beside the turbo badge like the 964 turbo 3.6. Give your self a distinction above a mere 993TT lol.
