This should make the noise limit at the Q :)

No more 928s for Greg!
And certainly not ones as ridiculous as this one.
I don’t think the 120 Db exhaust volume will pass at the Q.
While an interesting project and well executed not very practical or smog legal…
There is a reason turbines power jets and not cars.

There is a video out there on a test drive of another 928 turbine (Single stack and only 300hp) that shows how loud it is and how poor the accelleration is...

Could have just bought a 95 GTS and save a lot of hassle.

Hey, Steve... I noticed in your signature area that you have a 912 project going. Are you interested in 2 very nice 16x6 Fuchs wheels (the front wheels off of my 911SC) for the 912? I'm moving my 7s to the front and going 8s on the back. Anyways... Just thought I'd offer. Let me know. Cheers.
