Ooops, never mind. I did a little more research. A turbo kit runs between 10 and 20k. A custom job costs you an intake manifold, exhaust header, turbo, intercooler and the requisite plumbing. If you want to run lots of boost, like more than 10lbs 400+ hp, which is a lot of power in a 968, then you'll need new pistons. If you can't find Turbo 968 pistons, you can use 944 S2 pistons. The things that make this kit possible are the interchangability of 951 intake parts, and more importantly, the exalted Haltech Engine Control System. This is a fully programmable computer, with control for the turbo. If anyone is interested, just PM me.

Known 968 Turbo/Supercharger Coverts
OK..... I know this is an ancient post, but I'm doing research about performance options for my 968... As I'm sure most of my fellow 968 owners/worshippers know, there isn't much available. Powerhaus out of Arizona has had impressive results with both 8V and 16V heads, but alas I don't have 20K to drop on the work.
The other option I have found is a much less radical mod done by Anderson Motor Works Inc. for about $8200. With the powerhaus cars putting out a claimed 450 rwhp, the Anderson option retains many stock components in favor of a 70 rwhp gain (about 65 or 70 more than stock) which is really supposed to help at lower revs, 2-4K. As 968 owners can attest, the engine has to really be flogged to get the best out of it. Another note, Anderson also offered a supercharger convert, but as of this date it isn't available any more. (I called them this afternoon) If any one knows of any other options, I am looking at everything I can find, so I would love to hear about them.

Another note..... Further research has revealed a supercharger conversion from 9M performance in the UK. They will sell and ship to the US though.

ledhedsymbols - You're right that this thread is pretty old and it shouldn't be brought back up, you should start another thread on the topic. I'm going to close this one so it drifts off to history as it should.
