Posted by: CptTripps Jan 12 2005, 09:27 PM

The guy I'm buying my 914 from has a set of new 930 Turbo tie-rods. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? He wants $120 for the set.

Thoughts?

Whats the intended use for your car? non turbo ties rods are fine for street use providing the rubber bushings are in good shape

for a track car yes its a good upgrade

Excellant upgrade. I can't remember anyone saying you won't like it.

Went with the car in Rockford, MI. (#1 from my post.) I found someone to go look at the car and he reported that it was everything I needed...it'll be here tomorrow afternoon. =)

The turbo tie rod upgrade is definitely worth doing. All my 914s have had them.

You can do a little better than $120, however.

Excellent! It was my choice of the three listed. Hope ya love it as much as I love mine. Take lots of pics and post them when ya get it, but take a nice long drive first. Oh yeah, get the turbo tie rods, but ask for installation instructions here before you do it. Not that difficult, but there are a few tricks.

Great upgrade. Steering will be alot more precise...be aware that you'll feel bumps in the road and other irregularities alot more as the "cushion" from the stock tie-rods are not there.

Got them in my car, feels a lot tighter, precise would be another word to describe the change, I paid a bit more than 120, so if you don't want them I will take them.
how about a pic of your new car...
all the best IPB Image
