@ Nine8Six:

Start with the exhaust system measurement of the 3.2. Calculate the diameter you'll need for an optimal airflow at max rpm. Check header length. You'll be surprised. Same to the intake. And important - take a look at the heads.

Bad / good news - i don't know no correctly dimensioned after market solution right now - they all build the same crap.

But hey, i don't know nothing. Maybe i should install a patented underdrive pulley. Ugh, did the word again.

Regards, Markus

Dude, I don't know nothing also, trying to learn and doing it right. I do know however that I shouldn't be putting a 'whatever' 996 TB onto my 2.5L or the velocity will nearly stall @6,500RPM lolll



I'm out Markus (PM if you have anything). That's for another super dupper DIY. Our mighty 2.5L will become faster than your 3.2 for twice less dosh in the drain -mouhah
