    Does anyone have any pictures of a turbo or twin turbo setup for the 987??
    I would like to see manifold pics,turbine pics,etc.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Don't even think of doing it. It is a recipe for disaster. If you want that much performance, buy something else.

    trust dream car. he's right

    this particular engine has not been to kind to forced induction. rather do a used 997s transplant.

    Just buy a 993 or 996TT

    Not worth the fuzzing about and headaches when you can have the real deal in a 911. Don't waste your time just track down a used 993TT or a 996TT.

    Re: Turbo Question

    Is that because its high compression pistons and N/A rods?
    Or because there is no chip for them?
    Is there any aftermarket support for this?
    This is for the 3.4l engine.

    Thank you all for your quick replies..

    Re: Turbo Question

    The engine is not designed for that level of stress, either power or thermal. Also the engine compartment and cooling system not designed to cope with the very high heat levels (500+ deg C) that turbocharging creates. The brakes, suspension and chassis are also not designed for that power.

    By the time you've bought the car and paid to have the work done you would be very near the price of a good used 997S. and this would be a much much better and safer choice. You would have a thoroughly reliable car with full Porsche warranty, the exact opposite of what you would get if you went down the route you are thinking of.

    DON'T DO IT - IT IS MADNESS!!!!!
