dynevahn,

To suggest something, we first need to know what handling problem you are trying to solve, or what characteristics you want different from your "stock" arrangement.

Also, is this turbo used on the street, on the track, or a combination?

By the way, your stock "tea tray" is technically a spoiler or air foil, whose primary function is to redirect cool air into the engine compartment. A true wing's primary function will be downforce.

Give us a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish.

need help with downforce, I used the car on track and street. The faster I go feels like the front of the car wants to lift up(?) I was hoping a wing would help me somewhat. thanks

A rear wing might just make that worse.... WHat sort of front lip do you have? What about alignment specs? Either of these can make the car feel "floaty" at high speeds... (In addition to shocks valving, ride height, etc...)

dynevahn,

If your 930 has a recent alignment, let us know the figures, particularly the front toe and camber.

Also, we need to get an idea of rake or front ride height. A distance between the level ground and the middle of each front torsion bar is ideal for this.

Thirdly, what size wheels and tires are you running, front and rear?

We are seemingly asking for a lot of information, but want to save you from purchasing a $ 900 rear wing and making things worse! With the above pieces of info, Chris or I, or one of the other alignment guys can help.
