Don't forget Porsche is overengineering by large margins. When they think turbo, they're thinking track driving in 120 degree weather for 24 hours. Ever wonder why NOBODY blows trannys (nor even Markski)? Or that people safely put out double HP figures no sweat? Hard launch a 600 HP all wheel rive car? No problem. Hell Lambos need a new clutch after one bad hard start.
That is one place where Porsche really deveops a great product and earns their respect.

Then some chassis dyno operators came and showed the world that those engineers are wrong, and nowadays, you can go to 600whp safely with stock ICs.......for at least 10 seconds.
