\"1984<\/a><\/p>\n

Tyler Davis<\/a> had a simple plan for his 1984 Porsche 944; just drive and enjoy. But as many car projects go, eventually a growing voice inside his head wanted more power.<\/p>\n

Tyler considered several options until he stumbled across Boost Brothers Garage’s swap kit<\/a>. Their kit allows for someone to swap a 2.5 L Volkswagen “07K<\/a>” inline-five into a Porsche 944. The kit includes all the parts needed such as mounts, oil pan, intake manifold, and bellhousing.<\/p>\n

Tyler liked the idea of a unique swap and retaining a German designed motor. So with the parts from the kit, Tyler swapped a turbocharged 2.5 L VW 07K inline-five. The motor retains the factory internals but is boosted by a Pulsar 5855G turbocharger.<\/p>\n

On the hub dyno the motor produced its amazing exhaust note and a healthy 409 hp (304 kW) and 472 Nm (348 lb-ft) of torque.<\/p>\n
