I know Bisimoto has done this, but has anyone else done this?

It's doable, but given the electronics and water cooling, a 993tt engine would be much easier. Same hp too.

However Bisi @ Bisimoto did not put in a 996tt engine he actualy used a fully built 996 3.4 NA engine and then customized a twin turbo setup. I belive he was seeing 771whp at 13-14psi on 100vp fuel. Im sure he will chime in soon. I looking forward to having him design me a set of cams for my build as well.

Those 996 NA engines have great induction, too bad they were plagued with slipped liners, cracking valve seats, porous blocks, and the annoying off-center RMS which led to leaks.

....you forgot the problematic intermediate shafts

I ran a 996 3.4 for 2-3 years, lovely motor, very revvy for a production lump (moreso I believe, than the later 3.6 eGas variant)....but >700hp out of an M96? Jeesus!!...having said that, there are a number of oufits out there offering fixes for all of the above "woes"...personally, think I'd still want to be using a "Mezger" derived engine as a basis though...
