wow! That is a sick motor and THEN you threw a super on top! Wow, very impressed. Nothing like a little bit of moderation.

What kind of quirks did you have?

How many hours to you estimate it would take for an experienced Porsche shop to install the kit?

Any more photos or info on that car? It looks like a WB from the rockers.

I'd LOVE a SC, but $10k with the IC? What's the GB price? I take it you need the 1995 993 intake plenum?

TPC would of been on the top of the list for me if i would of bought the 993 a few years ago.
Power seems conservative, not sure how the reliability is on it.

Dan, I'm not in the market for it right now, so I don't want to waste you time.

I have the TPC supercharger in my 964. It completely transforms the car. I love the torque! It has been on the car for 12K miles and I've had no issues with it. No detonation to report with stock DME and 93 octane gas (100 at the track).

An experienced shop should charge you for 8 hours or less to put it on. It's not that difficult, just need to lower the engine a little. TPC has installation instructions on their site for those who would like to find out more.
