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

Mike Day<\/a> is a design engineer at ECS Tuning<\/a> in Wadsworth, Ohio. Last year Mike started building his Porsche 944 into a Stage Rally race car. One important part of his plan was swapping the factory motor with a turbocharged 2.5 L VW 07K inline-five. Mike installed the inline-five using a Boost Brothers Garage swap kit<\/a>. The engine features JE forged pistons, IE Tuscan forged rods and valve springs, Cat Cams camshafts, and S257 turbocharger. On the dyno it made 522 horsepower and 392 lb-ft of torque to the wheels on 18-19 psi of boost. The car still retains the factory torque tube and five-speed manual transaxle with a welded differential.<\/p>\n
