I was looking through their catalog online...

http://www.rufautocentre.com/parts/pdf/996.pdf

and did not notice any engine mods (turbo kit, NA mods) besides bolt on stuff. Don't they make an add-on turbo kit?

I believe Ruf offers a supercharger kit for the 996. Give Hans or Wayne a call...you're a short drive away...

IIRC, they do offer forced induction for the standard 996, Kompressor kit.

Ruf has also partnered with some the worlds top 911 teams to offer performance products (GMG, Manthey, etc). This new endeavor is called RAC Performance.

Give them a call and they will definitely get you set up!

Will do...

RAC performance... I'll check them out - I had no idea.

I was toying with the idea of trading in the car for something else, but I really do love it.... besides even if the mods cost me 10K, it beats taking the hit on depreciation.

25K!! wow. I hope there is some sort of blueprinting that is done for that. Even if I sold off my 4S for cheap, add 25K and Im into a low end GT3 or Turbo!
