Cracking car! Seen a few LS conversions in the states. Seems like a great mix.
Anymore details on the turbo? Also what are you using for intake cooling? Guessing a chargecooler mounted somewhere? Anymore pics?
The engine delivers over 500 bhp so the turbo is only going to be running about 5 psi and the intercooler is sat behind the rear wheels in the arch. will post more pictures shortly.Anymore details on the turbo?

Very cool.
My first thought though, was does the engine spin the right way?
Porsche use the 3.6 engine in MR applications as well, where it's in front of the gearbox, so is the direction of rotation something that's dealt with by the diff?
I was told it wasn't an issue but being honest when I started the researching this over two years ago I did wonder. Strange but true Porsche in the USA have been getting V8 custom conversions for over 10 years. My first thought though, was does the engine spin the right way?

What a great project!
How 'OE' is it in terms of electronics and ancillaries? Aircon retained? ABS/Stability? ECU/s?
We have retained everything ABS,Stability and ECU all managed through Cambus. When we first got the car before doing anything we rain it up to Emerald so they could understand how everything worked very similar to VW. We have for the moment switch Stability off but that may change in time.How 'OE' is it in terms of electronics and ancillaries? Aircon retained? ABS/Stability? ECU/s?
