Default Turbo question

ok, heres the deal, in less than a year i get my car porsche 944 turbo and i was looking at some turbos vitesse racing had a kit that produce around 320-350 whp, i was looking at garrett turbos and i wanted to know how much WHP could the engine handle without changing internals[sm=helpout.gif]and with that much WHP do i need to change injectores to like 75 lbs and stuff like that? Oh and what do u call the switch u can install that breaks the front wheels but not the back so u can do a burnout?

Lol, I can see this going down hill very quickly, so I won't sugarcoat anything.

If you try and do burnouts in a 944/951, you are going to shatter your R&P, period. That becomes very expensive, so get that stupid crap out of your head. If you want to do burnouts or drag race, then buy a Mustang, you will be much better off financially in the long run.

Vitesse has the best turbo setups on the market right now, but you will need to do the whole package: Turbo, MAF, Injectors, Chips, Piggyback. Plan on about 4k in parts to do it right. If you upgrade the turbo, and not the injectors, you will be too lean and will pop the motor. You can go to 350whp without doing any internal mods, and without loosing longevity, though if you are planning on doing burnouts, I can't imagine you will be easy on the car, so you might want to stay in the 325whp range for reliability.
