HANDLING
K-W Variant 3 suspension. Leagues ahead of the MO30.

BRAKES
Upgraded calipers from a 928S4. You might also like to go for braided lines and some decent pads from somebody like Pagid, Ferodo, etc. (do NOT use EBC, they're shite)

ENGINE
You can get a safe 350bhp from the standard K26 turbo. For more you'll need a bigger turbo. In the UK, see promax motorsport. In the states, the Lindsey Racing

TUITION
You should also consider a programme of tuition to help you get the best out of your car. A well driven 300bhp 944T with a good suspension and brakes will stick with a GT3 piloted by an average driver - on the road or the track.

Give Promax a call. They do a boost enhancer for about £50 which will make it feel quite a lot faster if the wastegate is tired, which they usually are

Very intersting. What does this cost all in with labour?
