President’s MessageBy Greg Lush
Can you feel the energy? Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can you feel it? The buzz and energy is gaining momentum at club activities. It is really something and very exciting for all of us. If you were to wrap this into a tight description, what would that be? What came to my mind was that we are continuing to evolve and if I had to describe this esprit de corps, the phrase “sense of community” comes to mind. On the Internet, I found the following Wikipe-
dia descriptions of “sense of community”. These two descriptions describe many of my feelings about the aura around our club activities. • For Sarason, psychological sense of
community is “the perception of simi-larity to others, an acknowledged inter-dependence with others, a willingness to maintain this interdependence by giving to or doing for others what one expects from them, and the feeling that one is part of a larger dependable and stable structure” (1974, p. 157).
• McMillan & Chavis (1986) define sense of community as “a feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members’ needs will be met through their commitment to be together.”If you are looking at this and saying,
“what the heck is he rambling on about?” It’s a sign that additional engagement should
be considered. Keep up the good work. Cer-tainly the common thread for all of us is our love of Porsches; however, while that love is important, the desire to be connected with one another trumps everything. Our community can sustain and foster lifelong relationships. Communities become stron-ger as passive participants become active participants.
The PCA OCR website has a great tool that makes it easy for members to contribute their thoughts and ideas. As you have likely seen from the meeting agendas and board meeting notes, we are very “open kimono” and sincerely value your feedback. Please take a moment to let us know how you feel and provide us with any thoughts on things we can do to make your “PCA OCR Experi-ence” the best in all Porsche Clubs (use the “contact us” function, upper right; http://pcaocr.com)!

Editor’s NotesStory by Garey Cooper
(Continued on Page 29)
Hot summer days, as we hasten along our ways. Will the weekend ever be here? We feel the need to shift a gear, get out on the highway, find a new byway. Is it possible to smile for one whole day?
A hot time in the old townWell my own biggest news has got to be getting home from the OCR-PCA Central Coast Tour and being greeted by the biggest season of wild fires in some years, at least down here in San Diego. Mrs. Cooper and I were in the evacuation queue leaving our little vale of Santaluz along with many other local residents. Our escape was by Pana-mera (BESS) so that the trail wasn’t that much of travail. But, I did feel some kin-dred spirit with so many refugees over so many years of human experience. As indeed we were running, but where to? Quo Vadis?
I will cherish forever the offers of overnight accommodations that we re-ceived. And I will remember to offer my
own in turn, should that ever be necessary. It is important to let all of our readers know that when one faces troubles even the wishes of luck and prayers offered take on a special meaning.
You can see a short video I did of our evacuation if you wish. I posted it to my “Facebook” account… it is interesting for me to watch it now as I can plainly hear the stress in my voice as I narrate our activity.
Okay, what’s important to you? I mean what’s REALLY IMPORTANT to you? Giv-en 20 minutes or so to evacuate concentrates your focus as to the important things that you want to take along. My first thought was to take both of our Porsches, the GT3 and the Panamera. However with the initial stirrings of chaos, I did not want to be separated from Mrs. Cooper and then end up trying to locate her in some community shelter. I’ve seen too many movies for that! So, Blanche Bicker-son (the GT3) was left behind, into the hands of fate. I know you Porsche or car nut people
will understand, but as I said one concent ra tes powerfully in moments of ex-tremes.
And as of this writing while the fires continue around us we are back in the house and well and whole for the moment.
And back to our regular programmingPorsche has delivered 55,000 vehicles to cus-tomers in the first quarter of 2014. If you do the math, you will end up with the potential for 220,000 deliveries in 2014. And this is before the Macan! That’s truly remarkable, as they taught us to say in Business School. The announced goal of Porsche (post Macan introduction) was to grow to 250,000 deliver-ies per year. It looks like they are very close

PORSCHE 924, 944, 968By Michael Cotton, Published by MRP Publishing LTD, Croydon, England
Book Review:
Review by Bruce Herrington
The name Michael Cotton should be famil-iar to Panorama readers. His column Euro-pean Windows has been a Panorama feature for many years.
This book is an old book, first pub-lished in 1990, then revised and expanded in 2000. By being old, it is not out of date, but rather current to its subject matter. And if you are at all interested in the subjects with which it deals, it is a must-have book. It is not a shop manual, but rather a documen-tary of the design and development of these, the first of the Porsche water-pumpers. This book makes clear that these cars are indeed Porsches through and through, despite their unique, front-engine, water-cooled charac-ter. There are many pictures with extensive captions, but unlike most books where the captions support the pictures, here the pic-tures serve to support the comprehensive and informative captions.
The author provides a great deal of de-tail, including tables of specifications, and describes variants that this 924 enthusiast had never heard of before, such as the spe-cial series of 924s prepared in the late ‘70s to run on methanol, as part of German gov-ernment’s alternative fuels program. There is even discussion of the ramifications of the Turbo route to more power for the 924 – turbo boost required stronger crank, rods and pistons, adding weight to the front. But extra power required a stronger gearbox at the rear – but the stronger Porsche box was lighter than the Audi box, reducing weight at the rear. These changes upset the balance of the car, necessitating changes in suspen-sion.... Another interesting story came out of the analysis of why the 924 Turbo did so outstandingly in tens of thousands of miles of factory supported testing, and had so many problems after sale – this time it was the d*@n Doctors, not the d*@n Lawyers, who were responsible. And who would have thought that in the 1981 Le Mans race,
the award for the finisher that spent the least time in the pits went to the 924!
The 924S, so prevalent in Southern California, (compared to 924s), is barely treated as a footnote to the 924 story. That may be appropriate, considering world-wide production numbers, but production numbers are not specifically included. This is after all, a “Collector’s Guide” a role it fills very well, with detailed narrative de-scriptions of model/year changes and how they came about. It is more about the design history of the cars, than their performance. Even the chapter on racing tells more about the modifications made, their rationale and effects, that about results in specific races. There are appendices that give technical specs and performance figures, but the specs are presented in more of a narrative form than traditional tables of specifications.
Some may remember that the Speed-ster was created in response to American influence. Interestingly, the 944 body (as distinct from that of the 924) was strictly a result of American influence, albeit of a different kind. Despite the American pre-dilection for front-engine water pumpers (in V-8 form at least) the 944 was always a bastard stepchild of a Porsche in American
eyes. Yet, after 18 years of 911 production, the 944 was the fastest selling Porsche ever, during its introduction year of 1982.
PORSCHE 924, 944, 968 is an old book, and it looks old, with an ‘archaic’ typeface, and the many pictures and illus-trations are black & white. But the informa-tion is current and timely to the vehicles de-scribed, and provides an immense amount of fascinating detail about these unique cars. With 144 7-1/4 by 9-1/2 inch pages, 7 Chapters (including one on Buying a used four-cylinder [water cooled] Porsche), this is a book every 924-968 owner should have. If not yet fascinated by the history of this special branch of the Porsche family tree, this book will make you so.

A Nice Spring Day, a Porsche, a Great Drive and a Fantastic CollectionOne of the reasons that we own our Porsches and enjoy the benefits of our Porsche Club is the tours/event that are put on regularly. Such a tour was the drive to Thousand Oaks to view one of the best car collections that I have seen. And I have been to many collec-tions, including museums.
April 12th was slightly overcast at 9 am as the crowd gathered at Krispy Kremes, a frequent starting point for our tours. This one was put on by Pete and Judy Lech. We had been invited to join the 356 Club, the R Gruppe Club and the 912 Club to tour the Malamut collection of autos and memora-bilia from the 40s and 50s. Along with many others, I had never heard of this collection.
The 61 members and guests of OCR headed out the 22 Freeway to the 405 Free-way to the westbound 10 Freeway. There was surprisingly very little traffic and the further we drove towards Los Angeles, the more the overcast cleared, making it a per-fect driving day. This helped the 33 cars to stay in fairly close proximity while on the freeways. Ending at PCH in Santa Monica, the group headed north on the famous road-way. Again, it was easy-going traffic and we drove approximately 30 miles along the Pacific Ocean Coast, by this time our cars beautifully glowing in the sun.
So much for the city driving of South-ern California, as we turned onto Decker
Canyon Rd and headed up to Mulholland Canyon Rd. This is a very scenic and windy road with speeds probably not exceeding 30 MPH, but the very twisties exercise the tires and steering wheels of your favorite marquee.
Decker Canyon heads up over the Santa Monica Mountains into the backside of Thousand Oaks. It’s about 30 miles or so, with only an occasional bicyclist. We en-
joyed a view of Lake Sherwood and then the rolling hills of West-
lake before finally getting into the suburban area of Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park.
We were to be at the nondescript in-dustrial-area building at 11 am, and with the lead of Pete and Judy we arrived about 10 minutes early. Sitting in front of the building were two Studebaker Avantis, and with the addition of all the Porsches from the differ-ent clubs there was quite an assortment of vehicles. Walking in the front door was our next adventure.
Upon entering, the aroma of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies filled the air. They were baked by Barbara Malamut, wife of the owner Mike Malamut, in the 50s era kitchen complete with stove and oven. it was located in the area near the front door. The Malamuts also provided other snacks and drinks for us to enjoy during our self-guided tours of the large warehouse and yard to the rear. As is needed after a long drive, we went to the restrooms and they had avocado green toilets and sinks. Some of you younger members might not know what I mean. Furnishings in the seating ar-eas were also late 40s or 50s and this décor accented the whole experience.
They had many VW vans, VW bugs and of course, Porsches in the collection. However, some of the unusual ones were worth the drive to Ventura County. There were 1958 Messerschmitts, BMW Isettas,

and Trojans, all of which are three wheeled autos; two wheels in front, one in the rear. I wonder how they would do in an Auto-cross? There were original Fiat station wag-ons, predecessors to the new Fiats. Mark Johnson pointed out that there were four Fiat Duplexes and he had only seen one before in his life. I was unfamiliar with it, a small four-passenger van-type of vehicle. There were also two 1950s era Solytos, which I had never seen. It’s a small van-type vehicle, three wheeled (one in front, two in the rear). Also pointed out were a 50s era Audi van, similar to the old VW vans, and the Member who pointed it out said he had heard of them, but had never seen one. A Helm’s Bakery truck, some beautiful Cor-vettes, some Citroens and many other very
rare collectible were not to be missed. A real complement to the display were all of the collectable signs, and other items from the 40s and 50s. These brought back many memories to some of us older members.
At the conclusion of the event, Mike Malamut gave us a little history about him-self. He grew up not having much money in his family, so he began working on cars. His neighbor had a 1956 Porsche, which he loved and later purchased. This same neigh-bor worked for Bob Smith VW/Porsche in Hollywood. Mike’s love for Porsches and VWs progressed. He got into the auto sales business, and after succeeding for many years, he started AutoLand. Many of you know this was used by credit unions to assist their Members with good deals on
autos. When he sold AutoLand, he started collecting more cars. One of his prized cars was purchased at a high-end auction. He bid so high that many of his friends called him an idiot. He bought that car, a Toyota 2000GT, for $627,000 and 6 months later it was worth over $1.2 million. His friends now call him a smart idiot. Mike scored a lot of points with me for his assistance to one of his favorite charities, the Humane Society. His great-looking German Shepherd, Bar-ney, was a rescue like my GSD.
Mike and Barbara were presented with a plaque and a bouquet of flowers by Pete, Judy and me . They are to be thanked for their hospitality and inviting us to a great experience. If you are ever given this rare opportunity, take the drive and enjoy.

Porsches, Posies and Garden ArtStory by Maryann Marks & Toni SchmidtPhotos by Maryann Marks
Feature:
This years garden tour proved to be quite the adventure, with a new 192 911 at the helm.. Remember, if you veer from your printed directions, be sure you know how to work the GPS!
The first garden was truly a spectacle to behold and, as we learned from the hard-scape designer and creator, it was featured on a Huel Howser episode. The owner de-scribed it this way:
“This strictly fantasy-themed garden is evidence of what happens when the gar-dener decides to cut his Prozac in half… A scaled Hobbit village in the front garden of this Spanish-style turned Danish country manor greets visitors. The gardener, who has no sense of humus, is assisted by sev-eral topiary ‘workers’. A favorite variety of salvias accompany the water wheel, and an arbor is covered with a Black-Eyed Susan vine reaching for the sun. Notice the wizard overlooking the balcony on the west? Look for the topiary goat, who can’t seem to sell his lemonade, so his cart has been planted with sun-loving annuals. Collected antique

stained glass windows adorn the patio, which is surrounded by three water fea-tures.”
The reamining eight (8) gardens we visited were each speccial in their own wat, from the zen experince where one left all of their daily concerns behind as they walked through the zen arch to the deceptively large corner yard with the Model -T “garden art” on the front lawn.
Each garden’s uniqueness was a trib-ute to the time and effort that goes into the preparation for this tour. It is akin to the prep it takes to get one’s porsche prepared for the concours judging!

First off, a correction: I stated in the MAY 2014 Ramblings, “the battery power is identified as Terminal Nr. 30.” That is correct. However, I stated that, “Key ON” power is terminal Nr. 50.” That’s WRONG! “KEY ON” Power is terminal Nr. 15 also identified from the IGNITION SWITCH wiring as Rd-Bk (RED/black) wire.
Also, in regard to having a wad of keys on you Porsche key set: A long time ago I had a Corvette key case – car identity key fobs and cases were one of the in things ‘to have’ back in the day. My Corvette key case, which was a small leather envelope type with fired enamel Corvette Crest and a snap lock to keep 3-4 keys snug and secure in my pocket. I still have that key case, but I bought another one in 1971 for my Porsche 911.
I fortunately found a small, fired enam-el Porsche Crest with a loop to secure it to my new key case. So then I had a “Porsche Key case”. When the leather wore out, I could not find any key cases or fobs any-where. Not in style any longer? So, for over 30 years I have been making my own. l bought some leather working tools, leather pieces, leather dye and snap fasteners, and have been making my own key fob cases ever since. I think I am now on number 5? However even though my original Enam-eled Porsche Crest is very well worn, it still works for me. And I have never had an un-intended or accidental KEY OFF situation with them – ever.
THE GRAND PRIX The 24 HOURS of LeMans may be his-tory as you read this, but it will be memo-
rable –for sure. The new factory werks 919 is as fast, as mean as it looks! Like the 917 in 1969’70 Grand prix, Formula-1 drivers are wringing everything they can from the 919 and most reports I read, even in SAE technical journals, quote drivers as having almost endless potential within the 919 and it is only the beginning.
In many ways this is very much like the 917 of 1970. It’s de-ja-vu –all over again!
MY OPINION You are welcome to reply. I only hope Porsche will build a 991GT2 and run them against the Corvettes, Vipers, Ferraris and BMWs. Can you believe shoe box “Beem-er” sedans running with 911s! I think we need to see Porsche, once again, make the ultimate 911. The GT3 has proven it’s worth every year since 2002, but what about the 996-997 GT2? That’s the one they brag so much about it’s past glory. Many of us would love to see Porsche come out and ac-tually run a new Turbo 911, a new 991-GT2 and race with the top dogs to prove once again it can race. The last time was 1998 when the AIR-COOLED 993GT2 Evo blew all the real cars away! I think the 991 turbo (a 991 GT2) could be built if Porsche was not so head-over-heels in love with auto-matic transmissions. Yeah, you would have to put another pedal in it! But, building a production 991 GT2 that will match any racer out there would leave no doubts that Porsche can race and win with what THEY SELL. Sixteen long years ago Porsche did that. How about now? How about making the Porsche 911 turbo a winner instead of just a past glory show boat! Are you getting this Weissach?
EXCELLENCEThe June 2014, Excellence has something every 1999-2014 911, 986 (Boxster) and Cayman owner or want-to-be-an-owner needs to be aware of. There is another com-
prehensive technical article with a further explanation and it’s a well-written article as well. Unfortunately it’s regarding the M96 and M97 engine problems.
I am not trying to beat-up on the water cooled Porsche 911, Boxster and Cayman, as we old timers had our share of air-cooled 911 problems and got through them. Just so you know I understand the 911 problems of today.
In the old days, 911s had Sole carbure-tors that would not idle worth a darn. They always belched black fuel rich exhausts. Then Weber Carburetor came along and fixed most of that problem and later Me-chanical Fuel Injection eliminated all of it. That street car upgrade came right from their race cars!
Then we had chain tensioner failures and before Porsche installed breakable rocker arms the failed tensioner allowed the chain to loosen, cam timing moved, valves hit pistons and in the early days the rocker arm did not break. They drove the valve through the piston, sometimes bend-ing a connecting rod or two, and some, even slightly but measurably, bent the crank-shaft! Not fun. My tensioner failure had breakable rocker arms. Thank Heavens for that. Before CDI ignition came along in 1969, if you allowed a 911 to idle more than 15 minutes you would likely have to replace all the spark plugs… I know!
Additionally, clutch cables stretched and wore out to soon. The clutch tube broke their weld to the body, under the transmis-sion mount. Then we had clutch fork break-

Editor’s Notes: (Continued from Page 5)
to that pinnacle without the new mini-SUV. In this case, I wouldn’t bet against them hit-ting the target.
And the Panamera leads part of this charge with an increase of 17% of year-over-year deliveries. Of course, the line was just “face lifted” as the saying goes, so this spikes purchaser interest and gets traffic to the showrooms. I want to make a special note that the V8 has vanished from the Panamera line-up, excepting the boosted Turbo and the very special “GTS” variant. More on future motors from Porsche in a moment. In place of the V8, Porsche is using a turbocharged V6 in the Panamera, which, although smaller and more fuel-efficient than the outgoing V8, will have more horsepower and torque. I have not had a chance to drive or ride in one of these but I’m really looking forward to the experience. I’d like to see how the driving dynamic is with this new design.
You don’t always get what you wantI personally am disappointed that Porsche will not build a sub-Boxster roadster. There was research and a rumor of an “entry lev-el” Porsche Boxster with a flat four motor that was to have been a “Miata fighter” and it would have served to attract newer and younger customers to the brand. Latest sto-ries are that this was scuttled as it would have been too far of a reach down, and that it might irritate the 911 Turbo S buyer who at $big bucks (not to mention the $918) didn’t want some hip hop playing dude in a sub $50K car waving to him/her. Too bad, because in the beginning, Porsche was known for compact cars that extracted reliable high performance from relatively small motors, many of them flat fours.
But wait it’s alive!Then, Porsche CEO Matthias Muller is re-ported to have said that indeed there will be four cylinder flat fours and that they are go-ing into the Boxster/Cayman chassis. This continues the downsizing of cylinders and displacement that is going on in the industry in general and at , as noted on the Panamera above. These newer, smaller motors are go-ing to be more fuel efficient and return power figures that surpass those of the current crop of larger displacement motors. In many cas-es these will be turbocharged to increase the output to match the outgoing larger capacity motors.
Additionally Porsche has seemed to be-come a leader in the hybrid power packages that are undoubtedly in our future. Witness the 918, which has to be one of the most pow-erful hybrids on the market and their new Le Man contender. Both with cleverly designed battery powered motors to augment the in-ternal combustion main power unit. They brought this first to the Cayenne, and now it is available on the Panamera including a “plug-in” version. Again, I’ve not had a chance to sample these sophisticated systems but I’m looking forward to the chance to do so.
It seems to me that the special challenge for Porsche will be to keep the brand distinc-tive and the driving experience uniquely “Porsche like” through the range as it grows. And, I wonder if they have qualitatively and quantitatively defined “Porsche like” so they don’t lose the focus through things like Die-sel and hybrid power packages.
What an interesting time to watch our favorite brand and what profound changes we’ve seen over the past 10 years or so. More to come! Let me know what YOU think about all of this. If the “Porsche Purists” weren’t keen on water-cooling or four doors,
what do they make of burring oil or electric-ity for motive power?
The BIG raceFor the sports car world the big race is, of course, Le Mans. And it happens on June 14 & 15, which is just around the corner. The Porsche 919, previously mentioned, is com-ing from a 4th place finish at Spa, not bad but not first either. There are some strong teams entered and the Audi team, from within the same corporate family, has to be one of the strongest that Porsche will face. I am excit-ed that the overall management will let both Audi and Porsche contest the top class, but a little curious at the same time. The expense of having two teams must be enormous and one wonders for which brand is the identity of Le Mans the strongest? I’d have to say Porsche, but garnering the publicity and the technical knowledge has certainly not hurt Audi. “Run what you brung” the old drag racers used to say. So the match up at Le Mans is particu-larly interesting for us Porsche fans this year.
Cabriolet SauvignonI began this whole column noting that we had just returned from the tour to Paso Ro-bles with our Orange Coast Region as led by Mr. Keith Clark. We thoroughly enjoyed the time, area, and of course, the wine. This time, as we were bringing golf clubs for an optional stop at the Ojai Valley Inn and Mrs. Cooper’s suitcase, we drove the Panamera. BESS handled the luggage with relative ease and proved an amusing canyon runner. Noth-ing of course beats a real sports car for the curves but it was still an enjoyable drive and Bess does have enough of that Porsche DNA to keep it fun. But be sure to watch for any trek the Clarks lead, as my hat is off to them for doing a wonderful job.

age. Then clutch Fork ball stud shearing off! Lovely. Throttle rod connector breaking and you driving home with a shoe shoved under the Weber Carborator throttle was not fun either! Then we had, and still have today, the infamous CIS air box explosions! To-day, you still cannot buy a new 1974-1983 911 CIS air box with a back-fire valve on it. This one simple modification saved fortunes every year in repair bills, but the dealers don’t sell them, Officially anyway. However, Einmalig, Ecklers and Pelican sell them. A MUST HAVE.
One of the things that really bugs me about Porsche is that it seems not to accept that ‘hotrod-engineers’ have conquered fac-tory problems, often with a good, simple, quality fix/up-grade. Is it ego? Pride? Poli-tics? I don’t know. It seems Porsche should have embraced these clever up-grades a long time ago and incorporated them into their own assembly system. But they don’t. So we have to wait or make our own fixes. Fortunately, smart enterprising after market shops make and sell them.
911, Boxster & Cayman problems1. IMS failure: So many good articles have been written explaining what an owner can do to take charge of thier Porsche. The sin-gle most important three steps are having your oil and filter thoroughly inspected for any traces of metal. Once you see metal par-ticle in your oil and in the filter element you are done! You then need a complete engine overhaul AND every oil line flushed clean and the oil/coolant radiator sonic cleaned and certified clean! I strongly suggest you install a metal “chip” detector in your Porsche. These are much like aircraft engine and helicopter transmission metal detectors. They can prevent a problem before it de-stroys the whole engine (or transmission). Your service shop can install them. Some dealers are likely to disapprove of it, as it isn’t factory, but ask them anyway!
Also replace your oil filter with a metal case throw-a-way cartridge oil filter and install one of those after market magnetic straps around the filter element. This will collect magnetic debris inside the metal fil-ter housing and when you change your oil, you or your mechanic can cut open the fil-ter (there are special ‘can opener’ tools for
this) inspect your filter element and look for metal inside the filter housing. Many street and racing air-cooled 911s use these.
Replace the old troublesome single row IMS Bearing with an aftermarket I.M.S. double row ball bearing. With the engine removed and on a work stand you can check your clutch for wear, replace the RMS (Rear Main Seal), and upgrade those known to be troublesome water tube leaks by TiG welding them, not re-gluing them! I would also suggest having a Valve Job done as that will insure a long lasting Porsche and peace of mind. This will eliminate the worry about oil emissions and OBD II issues from that known problem. Then you will know.
This repair and upgrade BEFORE a problem arises equals - VALUE! Value for KNOWING you have checked things, and knowing that now potential issues can be easily monitored and future driving reliabil-ity is more assured. Last but not least: great resale value. It is better to know everything is OK than just hope it’s ok…
2. Cracked cylinder heads.3. Water leaks from glued on coolant
tubes into castings. Even Mezger motor GT3 and GT2s have this problem!
4. Oil-Air Separator failures. 5. Rod bolt/nut failure on GT3 RS.
Reported as a “fire problem”. Not exactly. It is now known to be a rod nut-bolt, fail-ure leading to the connecting rod egression through the engine crankcase and the ensu-ing fire. These are just some of the current, known issues.
Now it is up to you. Only you can truly stay ahead of your Porsche’s health. Like a good doctor or technician-mechanic-engi-neer, they all need your help and input to diagnosis your health and the health of your Porsche by recognizing the first signs of a problem before it turns catastrophic.
GARRETT GT35RMy new GARRETT GT35R turbocharger is running great. My first impressions are that it noticeably spools much faster than the plain bushing KKK turbos of old. The ball-bearing turbocharger idles around 20,000 rpm, as with ball bearings there is almost no drag from bearing and oil film. This enables Garrett to use a much more aggressive com-pressor that ‘grabs’ more air with every turn. I notice the GT35R on my built 3.6 Turbo engine pulls at low rpm, with a push I once had with the hybrid turbo on a smaller en-gines. The GT35R makes full boost around 3,200-3,500 depending on air temp and as the engine comes up “on the cam”, it pulls even harder! More to come later
