Thanks pkabush,
My plan is twins for a few reasons, The 993 heat exchangers for better flow and true dual out exhaust which also helps in the packaging my frame allows. More importantly I have been a dual turbo fan since a kid staring at Gale Banks engines in magazines.

I am very budget minded as this is my work truck and need to rationalize that, so no exotic action, I am cruising craigslist for 996 TT stock take-offs and such.
I have a spare motor that ate some metal so plan to open that up and use it as the future turbo candidate, idea so far is stock 3.2 specs with after market E.C.U with Knock sensors ect.

Will post up on turbo forum when I am ready to formulate a solid plan, could be years at my pace:rolleyes:

Still on the lift getting more optimizing done.
went with a hollow splined sway bar for the front and welded in mounts in the rear to run stock 944 sway bars, starting with 16mm bar from a S2 using mounts from Lindsey Racing, also bought mounts for 14mm bar I have to tune down if needed.

Opening up front air intake for new oil cooler location, lots left here to do including some sheet work for ducting and I plan on casting a aluminum frame for bumper opening to attach stainless screen.
