I guess that's not surprising...these motors definitely aren't optimized for FI. Of you just threw a t3/t4 amazon special on there and turned the boost to 15 psi them I'd be amazed if they made it home from the shop.

The TPC turbo kits and older SC kits ran around 5psi of boost and I don't think I've heard of anyone grenading their motor on one of those systems. (Although I am certainly not vouching for those systems, when I spoke to those guys on the phone I wasn't sure they even knew what a 986 was).

No, I don't think so. The bore on the 3.4 is 3mm larger that the 3.2, so the heads wont match up (unless you an had the head bored out).

Out of curiosity, why rebuild a motor that has bore scoring? I feel like that's just asking for heartache.

Well I paid 100.00 for it , and I thought maybe sleeve it then machine the bore's to match the 3.2 heads just spit balling to see if its even possible, with all these parts being so close to each M.Y...sounds like I will need a 3.2 case for sure , if I cant have it machined ...Thanks !
