Fair Warning, Modification planned for ’77 TURBO engine
 
This is notification to ALL Porsche owners that I have 3.0L 930 TURBO motor S/N:6870590 and intend to rebuild it with modifications. I will begin at the end April. If you need this engine to return your ’77 930 TURBO to numbers matching please contact me.

What do you mean, "you have loose"? I don't understand your intentions.

Mark-
I removed the word loose, it is not needed.
I have this engine and I wanted the community to know I intend changing it from it's basically stock configuration. Maybe the owner of the car would want it back to preserve the value of their early TURBO.

I would say to keep all of the intake system/controls/linkage/vacume lines air cleaner.etc in case someone would want to return a 76/77 930 car back to stock that had been changed to the intercooler configuration.
I have one such car myself however I like it this way now for the performance gain, however when I sell it i may just return it back for the added value. Let me know as I might just store the parts until then. Thanks

Tony-
I'm not following the modern hop-up path so externally the engine will appear more or less stock. It will remain the standard low 6.5:1 compression ratio. Cam, porting and high boosting will be more like the factory race engines of the mid 70s. I don't need or want low RPM torque.
I have watched what is happening to early TURBOS and have invested in 3.0L engine parts toward the day when guys need them back.
