When he bought it - used with a Gembella body kit- it was running way to much boost, I can't remember how much but when I drove it I was like woa, too much, he rebuilt his gearbox twice in the space of 3 months!DaveH911 said:nikos525 said:Looking for a 997 Turbo engine for a buddy of mine.

Thanks I think he's seen that one, IIRC they quoted him 30K - he doesn't want to spend that muchragpicker said:ES motors are selling a built one at the moment including turbos and exhaust.

There are always heads and engine parts on eBay etc.
Rebuild should be about 3-4k plus parts...
