turbo install, For the 3.0 Options

[iamchappy]

I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill.
I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs.
Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When the same thing can be said about megasquirt I'll buy it.
I know of two people who have installed megasquirt on a Porsche and have it dialed in. Sure there are more but I only know of two. Neither of the cars are turbocharged.

This megasquirt thing is all fine and dandy but it seems like there are way more people talking about it but very few doing it. I'm a little sceptical. I also don't have time to go around re-inventing the wheel. If I have something that doesn't work I look for a better solution. If I have something that works very good I look for something else to worry about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Join the megasquirt list on Yahoo!. I agree that there are only a couple of porsche's running it, but there are A LOT of other cars running it, and a LOT of other turbo mods, on all kinds of crap from pintos to motorbike engines running in bonneville contenders. There is a huge body of knowledge on it at this stage, it may not be porsche specific, but for that you can talk to the 914 board, rennlist, and pelican.

As for dialling in FI systems, I don't advocate trying to get a turbo running AT ALL without a wideband O2 sensor that is calibrated and working. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't have a quantitative AFR measurement, you ain't got nuthin'.
