Just curious I haven't seen any turbo porsche motors on here. Is it a heat issue or just not one bothers.

We have built some seriously powerful turbo /6 engines. In particular we have a 3.8 @ 800 or so hp, and a 3.3 at 656 RWHP

the 3.8 uses individual throttle bodies (ITBs), the 3.3 uses a 3.2 carrera manifold

I would recommend you sell your ITBs. pick up a 3.2 manifold from ebay or somewhere, the 3.2 manifold can mount either direction on the engine, so you can set up the duct work whichever way is best in a 914

You will then have to get an Engine management system to control your fuel and spark.. (shamless plug) we sell Haltechs

Or ( another shameless plug) I have a complete 930 intake system, which is a direct bolt on to a 2.7.. you will have to have turbo headers/collectors made. with the stock 930 system you will only have to supply appropriate fuel pump and the headers..

Also the 2.7 series werent high compression engines. a 2.7S was 8.5:1

Our 3.8 turbo is 8.5:1

There are a number of things Id check on an engine before I pressurised it. Let me know if you have any questions
