what's the actual weight of your turbo?

Porsche stated that the weight is 1580kg for manual turbo, but I guess the actual weight would be more.

Anyone knows the weight of your own turbo and including what options?

Do you consider the turbo as a heavy GT car?

How was the weight affect the "fun factor"?

Just got finished installing my Bilstein PSS Damptronics and corner balancing the car. We weighed the car with 1/2 tank of gas with 20" Work Wheels which I would say are 3-5 lbs heavier than stock wheels. Not sure of the tire weights and the car showed 3559lbs.

Sure. Before the Bilsteins. I am taking better ones next weekend. This weekend was too crazy. I want to take some in the mountains while the leaves are changing colors.
