I have a 91 C2 cab with 107k miles that will eventually need a rebuild (I plan to keep it forever). Since a rebuild to original specs will cost ~$10-12,000, I've thought about going the extra mile and having it rebuilt to turbo 3.6 specs (i.e., add single turbo and intercooler, and all other ancillary parts). My cab already has an RS America wing to accomodate the intercooler.
From previous posts, I'm guessing that this will be around $20,000, when all is said and done. Does anyone have any more insights into this type of conversion?

P.S. - I'm sure that it would be cheaper to sell my cab and buy a factory turbo, but: (i) I want a convertible: (ii) I like the creature comforts of the 964; and (iii) Porsche didn't make any factory 964 turbo cabs.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

 

Just a comment on your wing - the RSA wing may not support any intercooler. Typical Turbo tail/lids are deeper to accomodate the larger intercooler sitting on top of the engine.

 

Bill - I know what you mean -- the base comes farther down the decklid toward the taillight reflector panel-- but I read somewhere that the actual opening in the decklids are the same size. (This could be wrong, of course). Thanks for the reply.

 

The last I heard RUF would do one for around $20K
