How difficult is it to find parts? I just purchased an 84 944 that another young guy had its in need of a pretty good amount of work. im not sure what parts ill need butit looks as if i might need quite a few. whats the difficulty on finding affordable parts? Whats the year interchangeablity?is there a way i could convert it to the factory turbo system? umm...

If you want a turbo then buy a turbo-don't try to recreate what the factory has already done. It will cost much more in time and money than to just buy a turbo all done. parts are easy-best place: Auto Parts Foreign Call Scott at 603-382-1643(states)

I don't believe that OEM parts arailability, the ones that work the best, is, or will be, an issue for Porsche parts. Check this posting: http://www.flat-6.net/forum/showpost.php?p=142079&postcount=10

Just keep in mind that Porsche doesn't make every part on there cars. Like the clutches-they are made buy Sachs. You can go to the dealer and buy a clutch kit for $1500.00 or you can buy one from a independent Sachs dealer and pay $500.00. Same with relays, starters, Altinators, plugs, ect. Also the parts used on Porsches fit many other models. Your 944 engine is just a 928 engine cut in half(sort of). I wouldn;t worry about finding parts for you 944.

Cool thanks guys its much needed. I dont really know much about porsches. thanks 930guy in particular because the technical stuff is priceless. keep posting! please/thanks...oh yea also where could i start looking for a turbo kit?
