That's quite the mods list
What's the power goals? What EFI system are you using?

I was thinking the same list for my 94 3.6 turbo.... Do you think it would have been cheaper/easier to start with a 993 Twin turbo engine?

sl951,

The ECU is an AEM EMS, with custom wiring made by chris @ Turbokraft. Give him a call sometime, since he is more informative than i am. The power goals are between 500-600 WHP on (Medium boost).
As for the 993TT engine, i always loved the push of a single turbo over a twin turbo setup.

This is a great project! I'm a big fan of the 3.6Ts (actually, it's my fave Porsche)!

Famine,

Thanks on the kind words. I am glad you are on the same line as i am. I enjoy driving my 3.6 Turbo much more than my 996 TT.

Thank you. Germany is great. I just wish I was spending more time there. If you don't want to see how she drives in the USA bring her to Germany so some proper driving can be done. Please also send my regards to your family.

Post some pictures of this beast. We are all intersted in seeing her

What size turbo is that? It looks HUGE! Your build is very cool and I'm excited to hear more about it.

Reading these threads makes me miss my old 930.
