Starter issue Options

Ok, so I changed out the starter in my 6 with another starter I had collecting dust. Now upon turning the key there is a "delay" of a second or 2 before the car turns over. So when I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump come on, then the delay, then the car will crank. did i put the wrong starter in? Or do I need a high torque starter or??

I don't know what is causing the delay.

I put the Hi-Torque starter in my /6 conversion, huge difference.
I have a high CR twinplug, the stock starter wouldn't turn the engine over brand new (had to bump start), and was slow once the engine was broken in, put the Hi-torque in and it's now zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
I only use the lawn tractor size battery odyssey PC680, I thought it was the battery but it was definitely the starter.

Did you test the Porsche starter or just replace it. When we get them back from the rebuilder, they zing right up.

Just replaced it with an untested 1 I had.
