Step 1 - Glue Turbo badge onto rear hatch.

Done.

From what I've researched, this is the only practical way to convert a NA to a turbo.
When shopping for a track car, I originally told my son I'd get us something higher horsepower, V8/Supercharge/Turbo. I picked the 944 NA mostly because of it's handling, there is a strict Spec class, bountiful parts cars, and it's good to learn in. So, I made it a turbo to keep my deal.
You can officially call me a poser, I guess.
Maybe it'll amuse or confuse the track tech inspector.

As long as it's out of humor, carry on then :D

off of a Saab 900, because you just don't find turbo Porsches in the wrecking yards.
I did find a 944 badge though - minus the 9, since my car number is 44, I stuck it on the bumper for luck.

That makes baby Jesus cry.

You are probably going to take some flaming for this...considered a no no here. Never good to lie.

really?? If someone is so serious that they'd consider me a liar over a joke, they need to invest in a sense of humor. It was just stuck on with silicone but I may just really secure it for my next track day just to see what the reaction is.

Razorback1980 03-24-2008 01:54 AM

Maybe since you made it clear it's a joke....who knows.

You should of gotten a RX-7 Turbo badge. Now that is great humor.

Speedy:)

robs944 01-15-2010 12:54 PM

All in good fun, made me laugh. :)

Hmmm, I may use this technique to convert my 924S into a hybrid. I'd like the better mileage, and there are a couple of Prius' in the parking lot to "borrow" the badge from.

BTW, I get the joke, and I think it's funny for a 944 Spec car. Maybe put a couple of NOS stickers on the windows as well.
