My 97 turbo will be going up for sale next month after 8 years of ownership so together with my friends at Tartan Tarmac we made a fun wee video as a memento, enjoy:

Another Porsche, but new or almost new with a warranty, the parts for old turbos are a fortune and I've become worried about tracking it and still have the speed bug I need to enjoy, but not the funds

[D4VDJ]

Your car is stunning, I've seen it a few times at the tartan tarmac runs / meets.... maybe a gt3 next?

Fab vid. Fab car..

I'd love a GT3 but would rather a GT4, unfortunately it would annoy the hell out of me paying more than new prices for abused car at two years old!!!!!!

I'll try a few out and see what happens, will stick with Porsche regardless

Good position to be in, enjoy the test drives

Enjoyed the video! Lovely looking car, just love the wing! Is that a standard exhaust or have you tweaked it somewhat?

No it's got 100 cel race cats so about as loud as you can go on a turbo and still pass an MOT. It's still quiet in the car but sounds good outside.

Sounds great mate, I've just picked up a sharkwerks bypass for my 7.1 gt3, hoping it adds a bit of a rumble low down
Looking forward to hear what you replace the turbo with in the near future!

Eagle eyes! It's a faulty gauge, you just tap the glass and it pops back down to normal, the car has the additional oil cooler (motorsport version) so the temp never gets high even with track work) I've had the gauge out twice and everything is normal so probably need to send it away to get fixed/ refurbed.
