Yes, I had the 993 Varioram adapted to my stock longblock 3.2L (now sadly history, due to a recent rod bearing failure after 200 track hours). This resulting engine is not in 3.6L territory, however we did gain 20 hp and 30 ft lb of torque at 3500 rpm. Varioram starts to help the torque curve as low as 2500 rpm, then fills out that curve to about 5000 rpm. At 5900 the resonance flap acts to extend the HP another 500 rpm to about 6500. It is an amazing piece of technology that actually works. Chris Powell, my mechanic here in Washington state, oversaw this adaptation. We will be applying it to another motor soon (2.8L race motor with big oil tank most likely).
