I bought this Monday.....93 944, 142.xxx miles, It's a one owner car I bought off some rich cat. Always garage kept. It has the dealer installed Turbo+ package, what kind of voodoo is this?

The manual doesn't tell me much, is it kinda rare?

Anyway's here are some pics. I love this fuggin car! and I bought it real cheap.

Turbo+ is a factory boost controller that adds quite a few horses. Somewhat rare.

Nice car!

Thanks,does it change the timing at full throttle? thats kinda how I interpret it.

This car has no door dings or dents, a really great find for 2K.

No, it ups the boost a few pounds. Very clean car, not many out there in that condition anymore.

Exceptional car! Reminds me very much of my 940 after I got it to look like a 940 Turbo.

Here's how it looked when before ecodes and before I lowered it.




Basically exactly like yours.


Here it is after I lowered it an added the ecodes.





If I were to do it all over again, I'd go with Koni Yellow shocks. The HDs are just too rough, but the Konis are about perfect. Firm, yet still comfortable. I've got IPD lowering springs and they lower the car a healthy amount. Just enough to make it look pretty dang good. Also, the ecodes are very awesome at night, even better with HIDs. They don't really bother anyone from what I gather.


I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Nice 940!

The Turbo+ raises the boost when; over 3k rpm or WOT. Here Turbo+ is 190hp instead of 165hp. Knida useless if you're going after more HP though

Yeah I know that much, but how does it work? I followed the vac lines from the turbo to a junction under the airbox. I see a wiring harness that goes from the vacuum junction to the firewall, also there is a radio suppression relay connected to the vacuum port junction.

Is this a factory electronic boost control? Does it send feedback to the ecm?

I found this on craigslisp and called the guy last Sunday and asked him when I could inspect the car. He said he was free right then, I told him I was kinda busy and Monday would be better for me, he said he could be at my place in 10 minutes so I said sure, come on over!

I'm sure glad he did, he was asking $2900 but said he priced it kinda high and would like to get $2000 for it.As soon as I looked the car over I said we have a deal I'll have the cash tomorrow after work.I didn't even drive the car before I paid for it.


Thanks for all the compliments!
