Never really told it here. Its a Porsche Forum. It WAS a 400HP car before I overheated it and killed it 2 years ago. The entire engine is new now, with tons of port work, huge fuel lines, rails and injectors (2x850cc and 2x1300cc) a duel ball bearing GT35R Turbo, 4" exhaust, Motec M4, 9# flywheel, oversize throttle body, and the list goes on.

I am running her a little fat right now and a more honest weight would be 2700lbs. I have the A/C back in. I also am not running my lexan rear window, or my tiny battery, I also take out the passenger seat when I am serious.

Plus for the last 2 years while I was buying parts and having custom work done there was not much to talk about, the mechanic I use is very funny about me putting pictures of his work on the internet. The inside of my engine and my intake have been worked over extensively.

In the videos I am running wastegate spring boost with no boost controller, so I am running 10 PSI or about 350RWHP if I turn on the boost controller, the turbo hits too hard for Autocrossing, track days its fine Autocorss its too violent. Then the HP starts to pour on, last time it dyno's with a smaller turbo, when we hit 15PSI it was at 380RWHP. We have enough fuel to run 18PSI and are pretty sure with this new turbo to be in the mid 400's to the wheels.
