@931PORSCHE Good observation! The factory gauge includes atmospheric pressure in the reading. So when the car is not running it will read about 1bar. As you probably know, a 2bar reading still does not equal 11 psi since 1bar is about 14.5psi. I read my boost levels from an aftermarket gauge which is a more accurate indication than the factory gauge.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! How could you sell your girlfriend!
@Duf67 Yeah I know haha. This one kept breaking down. It wasn't expensive, but it consumed a lot of my time. I replaced it with a 2008 cbr600rr (to keep things reliable since my camry is giving me trouble). Corvettes are fun, I wouldn't mind having one as my next project car!
@ApexIXMR I understand your concern. The car in my review should not be confused with the normal 944 turbo from other years. I did not intend to confuse you. Drive both the turbo S and the standard turbo and you will share my feelings. Quote- "We are in the 89 944 turbo right now, this car was introduced at the end of the eighties. The reason this car is special is because it took on all the performance parts that came with the 88 944 turbo S"
Ok so im just going to throw this out there how does 2bar = 11psi???? Just wondern

I would not have sold this car 'cause they wouldn't have offered me enough money to part with it.
At least no sane person would. ;)

@PentruRasaAlba Yeah I sold it pretty cheap too considering the condition it was in. No regrets though! On to the next project.

Wow you dumped the Porsche quickly. :) What did you replace it with? I had a similar experience with a 88 Vette. Fun, but a money pit galore.

Was not "introduced at the end of the 80s". Check up on your history facts dude.
