In my mind the turbo problems and service cost do not justify a paltry 100 more hp.
Improve it 200hp and it would be worth it.
Air cooled turbo lag, cruising in town bogging off boost around in 2nd gear,
3.2 (325k mile motor) is the most reliable engine ever in any 911, saving $1,500 every service because no turbo or intercooler in the way.
Aircooled turbo power is expensive if you don't think so fine.
For my race car I choose a built 350hp 3.6 n/a over a stressed turbo.
When considering a turbo for my 911 race car the engine budget alone would of been the same as my cost to run the car all year with the aspirated engine.
I like a 935 but could never afford to run it and most than can run them detuned.
The turbo 911 are just not as good of a package as some seem to believe.
