Folks,
The actual turbo on my '76 930 has announced its retirement.
The question is what to do. I can spend some cash-o-la on a rebuild of the original turbo, or go with something new (a k27 variant? which one?)
The engine is at 50K, which is about 10K on a rebuild that moved it to 3.2L (7.6 compression, iirc???) Everything else is stock. (It's about to get an oil cooler up grade -- guess what the 40K failure was....)
Anyway, I'm looking for BTDT or opinions on newer turbos, and pointers to conversion info if you have 'em!
'Course, I've attached a pic -- I know it's required, and I don't mind posting pics of my car -- heh. There's a /6 in the background at least, so it's obliquely 914 related.
I posted this to the bird board as well as it's 911 crap, but there's an interesting mix of talent and btdt on this board that might give me answers I won't get there.
Thx for any pointers y'all might have!
