About 10 years ago I upgraded my 951 engine with the following:

1. K27 turbo
2. MAF
3. 1.1 bar boost
4. Head gasket
5. Extrude honed intake and matching head
6. 3 bar fuel pressure
7. Enlarged boost tubes and throttle body

Engine had about 90K on it when this was done. Unknown previous owner. Rod bearings changed in 2001. Car has 162K on it now and has done 80 track events (probably more). Can't comment on how much power engine makes but it does not make 340 at the wheels. I suspect about 310 based on acceleration figures.

Never any problems with engine other than oil leaks.
