How hard would it be to throw on a turbo for a 944 auto?

Ebay has your answer there are Turbo944 Porsche is on there for like 1.5 grand. l doubt it would be to hard.

If u want a 944 Turbo, the cheapest route woudl be to sell ur 944 & look for a 944 Turbo. There r a variety of aftermarket kits around that can be added to a normally asperated 944, however, the 944 engine was not designed for this from the start & the level of boost u can safely run will be limited by the higher compression (where the 951 engine is lower compression). Also, the engine internals r not designed for the added stress & u will have at least a negitive impact on reliability. Also, increasing the power will now make the brakes & the suspension move from being strengths to weak points unable to handle the new power, & they will be in need of upgrade.

Even without this part, the cost difference would be starting to approach the cost of a 944 Turbo - & that for a less reliable, lower performing car.

paul is right on, like usual.

the best option is to sell it and buy a 944 turbo (951). itll be cheaper, faster, and more reliable.

l know the feeling, your wasting your time trying to get turbo you need really to look for a 944 turbo. l got a lot of comments and looks but when it boiled downed to performance it still was'nt the turbo

Pointless, buy one that already has one. Too many parts are different. Get a turbo S.
