How do i turbocharge a Porsche 944?
WaY ToO expensive!, sell your NA 944 and buy a 944 turbo. Unless you find a COMPLETE 944 turbo engine with the mounts, turbo, the complete long block, the computer with electric harness and all sensors, air filter and intake system, fuel distribution system... for some reason, the clutch housing is different too. You will even preferably have to convert your whole front end to the turbo style to provide a proper airflow to your intercooler, also to note, the turbo exhaust system is completely different (wastegate, catalytic converter side pipe, bigger muffler...). The 944 turbo have bigger brakes and there is a heat guard for the master cylinder

Can you put a turbo on a 83 non turbo 944?
No is the easiest answer. As well as the turbo you would have to uprate the con rods, crank shaft, ECU, fuel pump, fuel lines injectors, fuel rail etc etc etc. it would be easier to drop a turbo engine in and uprate the suspension. I think you might also need to look at the diff too. Maybe just sell you 944 n/a and buy a turbo. Yes upgrading to a turbo from an n/a will cost you more than selling the n/a and buying a turbo. The gearing in the transmission needs to be changed, the ring and pinion gear also need to be changed (the n/a had a much weaker ring and pinion) The turbo also had a transmission cooler.
Is it possible to make at least as much horsepower as the Porsche 944 Turbo from the base non turbo 1987 944 2.5L engine?
the 2.5 engine will accept a super charger that will take it up to 220-250BHP but you will be sacrificing the longevity of the engine. all the oilseals, con rods, pistons, crank and cam shafts etc will not have been designed to take that sort of power. chances are you will blow the engine soon after fitting it. Try just mapping the ECU, this will give you a few extra HP. if you want the power of a turbo then get a turbo.
