1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S
I bought this 944 from Ohio in September 2015 and shipped it to California. This car is such a nice car to drive, most of people do not realize that in 1988 this car was faster than almost anything on the road. Not to 60 in 5.5s, better than a Testarossa. This chassis is so well balanced, it’s the perfect car for me. I enjoy driving it out of the city. Inside the city, the ‘ON-OFF” effect of the turbo is a bit tricky, and the engine sounds like a Golf 2 90s but the is so much to love about this car…
The car is at the moment at a Porsche specialist garage in San Diego to make it smog legal in California. I thought the car was stock, but turned out the DME and KLR chips were aftermarket custom ones resulting excessive NOX emissions. Found a new stock set trough Rennlist and being installed now. The garage also found that the waste gate had been shimmed with two 8mm washers at each mounting bolt, resulting in very agressive boost delivery. They set it up back to stock configuration.

That’s a clean bit of history right there. What area of Cali are you in?
Nice 944. It’s my favorite model and you have an excellent example my friend. :)
nice car ;)
looks very nice, the turbo letters on the fender. is that inside the paint job?
I have the same car. Exact same. Fun times.
Are you considering to put on euro rear bumpers?
I love these cars. I had an 85 N/a in champagne gold. Was a beautiful car and drive like nothing else. I miss it.
Friend!
i race mine. maybe not a great idea.
Love the decal near the hood did that come standard for the Turbo S? My father had an ‘88 Turbo non-S but it didn’t have that. I guess it had to be ordered from the factory with it. Which he didn’t do I guess.
