Much appreciated for all your insights I want to say i.e. everyone.
Yeah, the turbo 89 was the only 5 speed as I know it, pre 89 all turbo were 4 speed right?? So the 89 speed G-50 would be the one to have on Turbo if that were my set up. Regarding the one post about the possibility of Ruf conversion on say gearing, I just wanted to say that this gearbox is stamped RuF on the case, has a Ruf badge on the bottom with R - 50 50 plus vin no. There must be info out there about a component like this. It wasn`t converted to Ruf spec, rather it was a Ruf component in the day.
The motor, gauges, everything about this car was Ruf from the time it was imported into Japan during the bubble economy. I read the chip from the Ruf engine computer and it was stamped, rather hand written 1991. So that is the era. The configuration though is G-50 esce i.e. 89. Even my Japanese title for the car reads RUF not Porsche, however, my vin no. on the chassy is not a Ruf no. rather a Porsche VIN. You all are going to laugh at me, but I still haven`t decoded that VIN. I still don`t know if it was a plain carrera, a turbo or a wide body non turbo. That is my task from now. Bear with me, yet realize I thank you all for your valuable insights and direction.
Best,
Bernard
