          ^Thank you for linking that video. I saw this guy's review on kamotors car. Hadn't seen this one. I thought at first it was relevant to my thread because he had a messy shop. Then the other thing was similar… and the other thing… and the other things…

                      Thanks man. I'm working on the 944 for now, but I will end up getting back to my delusions of grandeur with the compound boost and so forth.

                          I was thinking for a while about spending a lot of time and money trying to build an over-the-top stroker to avoid turbo lag but now that i've seen how affordable a s/c'd setup can be, i'm going to go this route.

                          For reference, your 2.7 is the 81mm eta crank, 130mm eta rods, "i" pistons and the 885 head?
                          Did you shave the block?
                          What was your static CR?
                          Did you do anything else to prepare the engine for boost?

                            Eta crank, rods, and pistons. 885 head.
                            Did not shave the block.
                            Idk.
                            No.

                            There's no lag ever. It's not a lot of boost, but it's well appropriated.

                              This is exactly what I've been looking for! Awesome job man! Did your welder weld the intake ports on the inside of the runners?
                              And you have measurements off hand of the plenum by chance?:)
