You may want to do a search. I don't believe anyone has documented an install of a "Kit".

Hi, we aren't here to spoon-feed you information. If you are serious about such a project, I'd first suggest finding sufficient funds and then start researching it using this site's "search" feature to gather basic information and then calling companies like Protomotive to see what all is involved. I think the first step should be saving up approximately $15,000-$20,000 and then going from there.

15 to 20 k Im not trying to build a race car. i just want some more hp basic kit.

Sorry dude, there isn't much middle ground. Try a few simple things like chips and exhaust, if that doesn't due it, then start saving some funds

Sounds like you just need a 'Steve W.' chip. A whole lot cheaper & easier than the whole turbo thing. About $230.

911 Chips from Steve W

If you are intimidated by the picture dude, you are no where near ready for a project like this.....IMO of course.

Here's a few pics of a few kits I've designed on 3.2's. I wish I took more pics though! Oh yeah, a bolt on kit taking you to near 400 flywheel hp won't be more than $10k.

The above was my old set-up, low boost, no internal engine mods, 0-60 in the low 4's.

This one started life as an exact replica of mine, but now sports a bigger turbo, 1.2 bar of boost, all engine internals to make sure it can take it, but retains the factory Motronics, even with the flapper door AFM. This car is known around here to pull away from motorbikes on the highway. 5th gear rev limiter (7200rpm) is reached incredibly fast.

This is my current set-up. I'll try to get a few more recent pictures soon.
Hope this helps!

Mike - Are those vice grips a permanent component?

Mike Feinstein · Mike Feinstein's Garage

$499 each from Tweaks.

Couldn't resist

Mike the mechanic · 09-28-2003, 07:09 PM

Yeah Victor, and so is the tape covering the turbo inlets, and the oil lines just hanging there actually lubricate the turbos. Why buy bolts when you have Vice grips?

obrut · 09-28-2003, 07:10 PM

Old question - old answer:

-> Sell the 3.2 and buy a 930, cheaper, easier, blah blah...

oh and they're prettier looking too!

Cheers - Ryan (who sold an 88 3.2 for a 78 930 and never looked back)

Victor · 09-28-2003, 07:20 PM

Ryan, as discussed - I want rid of my 88 3.2 and into your Kremer 930. Just go easy on it untill I can arrange the cash.

YermanCars · 09-29-2003, 05:31 AM

Thanks to all the responses but I already has a steve W chip and other upgrades just not the turbo setup, I know that it is not a cheap venture. but 400 or under hp is good for me, thaks Mike for the pictures.

Is there any books of about turbocharging your porsche and not that I would do It myself, but just want to understand the works of the porsche turbo system more and I wasn't intimidated by the picture above (protomotive tt set up) but for that kind of money 30k Id spend it someplace else.
