What's your budget, it might be worth you speaking to JMG. http://www.jmgporsche.co.uk |

Hi Keith, I'm an ex turbo owner and looking for another just now. There are a number of interesting threads on this forum and others.... However, there is a chap over on pcgb who has just started to list loads of spares from an abandoned "monster" turbo build. Have a look. However, probably worth stating it won't be cheap to get where you want to go. Many of the folk run mildly modified cars (= Promax or LR stage 2 kits) - you're still looking at perhaps £1500 (fitted) to achieve 285-315bhp (approx range) - though this transforms for the car itself nevertheless. Where are you located? |

General train off thought is 400+ will require new tested rods and engine build. Not that a stock will fail but went 400 is the goal new rods etc seem to be a while your in there approach. Head work may be nessery as well. Without doing the work yourself, I would expect more then a few grand. Your need a turbo, 2/3k extra if your go for a soultion that's not bolting and requires fab work. But it will help you reach your goals without creating lag. Boost at 4k is 100mph in 5th Exhaust with 3" discharge pipe. 1/2k Your need engine management and fueling and air intake work. 1.5/2k there Boost control, waste gate and controller 500/1k Don't think any LR turbo will see you over 400hp not even 61 without head work. Not had a final tune and dyno mine yet but I would like to think I'm around that area. |

Well done. What's the turbo? You got piggy back ecu and maf or do you still need air intake. Where you based. Give tom barks a try at http://www.augmentautomotive.co.uk/projects May be worth getting his ecu and map and sell on the piggy back |

Great, Jmg and promax see how long they will take as these cars tend to live at the tuners forever |

hi yes phoned jmg and the response i got was less than welcoming so they will not be get any of my money. as if you already have you own bits they are not interested they just clearly want to sell you there bits may give promax a call if not there is a place called austec racing may give them a shout many thanks |

He's a 944 nut and I doubt anyone knows more about 944's and tuning them in the UK. I doubt he'd sell you something that you didn't need. |

yes i have no doubt they know there stuff but who ever was on the end of the phone was not helpful and pretty much didn't want to know as soon as i said i had collected my own bits i have tuned a few different cars with garages and never had a response like because you have your own bits i found them pretty rude to be honest and i only phone up for a chat to see prices and what there recommendations where and im happy to take peoples advice but there was none of that its was just we dont like fitting other peoples parts and that was the end of the conversation its a shame really there not far from me |

Try tom barks he Gloucestershire based but it be worth it. There's a lot off why your in there jobs and someone who knows just how much life is left could save replacing parts for the sake off it or missing something easy 5mins like as seals which can be a huge job on there own |
