    Restoration of 67s - Upgrades? Turbo Tie rods vs. original

    Question 2: My 67s has had an upgrade to turbo tie rods in the past. It seems in good condition, but I am trying to determine if I should restore it to the type of tie rod assembly that was original to the car.

    Opinions/Pros/Cons?

    Thanks,

    Maybe I asked a sacrilegious question to all the early 911 people. No one answered my question.

    I won’t have my feelings hurt if you tell me I’m crazy to consider keeping the turbo tie rods on a 67s!

    That option was recommended, but I went original.

    This depends on your restoration. Are you trying win awards or just restore to drive. If you're going to drive it then Turbo Tie rods are a fantastic upgrade!
