i get what you are saying. The car is getting full suspension done as we speak with clubsport kw 3-way dampers and rss monoball stuff all throughout the suspension areas. We are installing 997 gt3 brakes all around with braided lines and an upgraded master cylinder.

Freshly rebuilt k16/24 hybrid turbos

Big turbos

Lots of turbos




Billet city!

Turbos are back from the shop. Small world. The guy that built them put his son through the same school as my boy is currently attending. Anyway, as I spoke with him we decided to go with billet k16/24 and the came out beautifully. It was great timing because one of the turbos was just starting to leak so I feel great about the refresh!

it is such a cool little shop, I’ve included a few pictures. He’s got turbos for Japanese cars, BMW (those guys love their turbos!) and even a lot of stuff for big rigs. Like I mentioned earlier, he’s been doing this stuff for 35 years. Dropped it off at 4pm and they were ready at noon. Cheap too. Cheers all and thanks for all your helpful advise along the way!!

+2. I had billet K16s and they were fantastic for street/track.
