I don't think you have to worry about over powering the engine, they are quite robust from my understanding. I know the 3.2's in stock form can take just about anything you throw at them.

I saw a video of how quickly your S300 hits and that's given a smaller displacement and compression to boot. I think GT45 could be fun
if they fit under the car without dragging like a set of hillbilly-truck-nuts
What is the farthest anyone has pushed a N/A-T conversion that you all have witnessed? Especially on the torque end...
Is 500hp/450tq (so ~425WHP) possible on stock rotating assembly? I don't think detonation will be my limiting factor with E85. Will keep the stock redline/revlimit of 6500/7000 due to rods bolts and valvetrain.

We have those catalytic converter flanges in stainless steel.
We make similar low-boost turbo systems for the 964, and they spool very early and linearly. 335whp/320wtq at low boost on 91-octane with VERY conservative timing and fueling.
We always use stand-alone engine management, usually AEM Infinity, and always intercool them. We have fabricated air:water intercooler systems for the 964/993 and can make one for you, too.

Thanks for the reply Chris. How much are those flanges as I couldn't locate on the website (I'm guessing they're a custom order item?). I'm also interested in the Garrett oil feed kit and a fuel pump upgrade.
What kind of power can I expect if 91 weren't a limitation? I have 93 available here and even still, I'll be using E85 as it's readily available too and I have 80lb injectors already in my posession. Just awaiting VEMS ecu to install and start plumbing everything.
What size air:water core can I expect to fit under a stock lid? My mind imagined one of these tube/canister style ones:
Barrel Water to Air Intercoolers in-line in charge pipe just before entering throttle body and this shape looks easy to hide/mount.
EDIT: I'm going to need a clutch with my most recent lofty goals
What's something that will hold a boat load of power but isn't an on/off button? I don't mind a heavy pressure plate/pedal feel but don't want a lightweight flywheel or an on/off disc compound or shape. Something that's easier to modulate and will hold up longevity wise (so maybe kevlar faced?) but that clamps down when I drop the hammer. Does my car being a Carrera 4 vs a C2 G50 make things any different?

The steel and cast iron surfaces are all machined perfectly flat so there were no exhaust leaks. Or I couldn't hear any.

He wants to build a side-mount turbo system for his 964 ala Ruf RCT/Evo, mounting it where the catalytic converter was. The catalyst flange is unique, similar but not the same as the turbine outlet flange.

I'll be using the gasket pictured to start with and I have issues with blow-out I'll just switch to a copper RTV chemical gasket.
