i was just surfing the web looking at 968 stuff and came across this thread. looks like the guy building it is doing a really good job. everything looks really clean. it'll be interesting to see how it turns out... if it gets finished.

This is a very cool build and the guy Craig seems very open about what he's doing. Unlike so many in our world.

Some very nice work. Hope to see this one through to fruition.

there are a few guys out there fiddling with these engines - always good to see somebody trying something new

I saw a thread on this project a month or two ago on another forum. All I can say is, "Wow." This guy has some serious skills. It would be nice if some of what he's creating could eventually spill over as items we could buy for our cars, but it looks like a custom, one-off job all the way.

i was very impressed - the only thing i wonder about is hood clearance on the front corner of the plenum - it looks like it sits higher than the fuel rail cover by quite a bit

Wow, is this guy in for some money. Every aspect of a project needs to work together. There will be an amazing amount of time needed to fit everything. Header is just one part of exhaust. He needs wastegate, crossover and exhaust to whatever turbo he is using.

ITB's don't fit with brake booster and master cylinder. Lots of design process and fabrication.

Looks like he has the skills to do anything.

Good luck!!!

I *do* hate it when I cut off my hold-downs like that (he chamfered through his allen-head screws in one of the later photos). [Image: laugh.gif]
