should I get rid of my turbo?

here are some pics.
1987 Porsche Slantnose Cabriolet.
Guards Red Black interior.

This car is powered by a 600hp Protomotive 3.3 stage 3 turbo engine. 0-60 in the mid 3second range. Engine Tuned up 6500 miles ago. G50 5spd transmission with a 935 racing clutch set up. New front rotors installed. I have owned this car since 1992 and had the engine rebuilt and this system installed by Protomotive in 1995. Polished Ruf 17x9 front and 17x10 in the rear. Wrapped in brand new 225/45/17 tires in front and 275/40/17 t in the rear. 8 way power driver seat and 6 way passenger seat. Power black top. 930s console with an HKS electronic boost controller. Alpine deck , Rockford fosgate amp, MB quart 3 way speakers in a Z box up front and 4.5s 2 ways in the rear. Power door locks , Power windows etc. Coil over rearshocks. The car has about 80k miles on it and about 35k on the engine. I have 5 other cars and I don’t even drive this one. I put less than 2,000 miles on it a year. I have tons of receipts.

This is a great car it has never let me down. I just change the oil every 3000 miles and I runs like a champ. It also gets good gas mileage for having this much power. I drove it from San Francisco to LA on 1 tank of gas. For sale at $42000.00 Thanks. Please no I send you a BS cashiers check or any other nonsense.

Protomotive charges
Stage 3 (up to 1.4 Bar)
N/A
$25,943.31
for this turbo system. All info can be found here. http://www.geocities.com/protomotive/products.html

Don't do it!! I drive my '79 930 about 2-3,000 miles per year; it's worth keeping around. You'll never get your $ out of it a when you sell so you might as well hang on.

Speed Racer:
I have 3 myself and if I had the room, I would buy your slantnose cab. right now. If I were you, I would keep all 5 of your cars. They don't make em like the 930 anymore. It is a beautiful car, and so are the others in your pics.
