Correct sir. These turbos simply hit too hard, especially at the apex.
An e46 (not vert however) M3 is also a good choice.

eh, they didn't hit so hard on wastegates and pump gas. I was only running about 675whp.

Less than 96 hours til Texas Mile and my car is in pieces.. BBI is overnighting the fittings. Also, we ordered the Billet Crank pulley from Evoms. And I finally installed my Hans on my helmet and my Carrera GT seats.

looks good Todd. I am sure Steve is so glad there is no tiptronic gearbox attached to that engine 
If you are daily driving that car I hope you have some serious padding on that roll cage or wear that helmet every time you drive!

Of course I don't daily this car man. And if I did, the roll bar would not need to be padded. Lol

If your head goes behind the seat and hits the bar I think you'll have more problems LOL! 
Unless you have a custom cage all the Porsche roll bars go behind the seats.

What up MT? How have you been? I bet that Z will fly bro. I'll be there Thursday night hanging out with Mike Bailey. The weather Friday looks to be ideal. Where are you going to park?

Just had a coolant fitting fail on mine - of course as luck would have it.... its the one going to the oil cooler and is not reachable with motor in.

Dang, that's what sucks about this problem. There are 8 possible fail points and you have to strip the top of the motor to get them. Ugh!
