Just dropped my turbo for a RWD conversion!
 
At Rusnak. I should get it back tomorrow. I'm so exited!

Congrats, you will love it. Almost feels like a 993tt:)

I bit the bullet and ordered some GT2 Axle stubs for ours today. For the price of the stubs it's a cheap way to do it without having to rip apart factory axles (making it quickly reversible in the future if we want to go back and forth)

Wes, how much were those stubs?? Any other parts needed??

That's what Rusnak is doing. The GT2 stub axles were $600 with the bolts.

Prolly a lil cheaper if you can hack one up yourself to hack yours and buy new ones. They are only 350 for the pair. But I can say from experience the $250 saved is not worth the hacking. LOL.

I look forward to the "test drive report" when the mod is complete. Have fun! :D

David9962000 Apr 6, 2009 08:55 PM

I can't wait! It should be ready tomorrow.

Exactly - be careful as the power will break traction in an instant without the AWD. An LSD will help but they're not cheap...

Yeah with G28 Turbos it sure will. Most stock turbo packages can handle the power with just RWD.

Good to hear David, you moved to CALI for good now?

David9962000 Apr 6, 2009 10:17 PM

Yeah, I love it here. My motor is stock but I have a PSS 10.

good to hear, is your dad still in FL?

David9962000 Apr 6, 2009 10:42 PM

Yes, is your turbo rwd? How do you like it?
