Thank you.
It is very fast and unlike my 2012 Turbo S that thinks all for itself ith 650hp and PDK plus electronics, my 993 is like a wild animal!
Big is great though Blackie. Nice Andial!

Along with the sage advice on Cheap / reliable / fast from ElGuapo Piloto you must remember the other performance saying....:
HP is like Ca$h and T1tt1es
You can NEVER EVER have too much!

John,
These cars are "fuel-limited" insofar as how much performance you can safely achieve with them. Air-cooled turbocharged engines require better fuel as the boost goes up and are FAR more sensitive than water-cooled, like engines.
Ultimately, local octane availability factored by weather conditions will determine what you can do.

Looking to upgrade my 993TT power.
Basically stock now, except exhaust, ECU etc. Hybrid K24/K16 turbos. Dyno read 415rwhp.
Suggestions?
3.8l conversion
Twin plug?
Inter coolers?
Billet K24 turbos?
Rebuild will be included and open to new rods, valves, heads, or whatever will give me reliable efficient HP an torque for weekend street and race.
Also open to buying a built super motor I one is available for my 97 993 TT.
Thanks.

And don't forget to upgrade your brakes and suspension if not already done.
