Discussion
Hello fellow PistonHeads
I was looking to buy something along the lines of this https://www.rr-racing.com/Porsche-Carrera-911-991-... but would prefer to get something from the UK or EU, do you have any suggestions?
Mant thanks:: trady

Thanks a lot for your reply and for your welcome. Sorry for not responding, I was not allowed to post in the 1st 24h 
Well, to buy a new car as you wrote is not really on the agenda, but thanks for the suggestion
Even so, if you or anyone else got an idea for a similar kit I was looking for from the US, I would appreciated to be pointed in the right direction. In parelell ill put in a lottery ticked as well.

Selling your 991.1 GTS and buying an turbo’d car (be it a Turbo or a 991.2 Carrera/GTS) will be cheaper than putting a compressor on your existing car and getting to run it properly!
The n/a 991 GTS is a future classic as it is the pinnacle of n/a non-GT 911 cars. A compressor will most certainly decrease it‘s value. People who want mega power in a 911 just buy a Turbo or a turbo‘d C2/GTS and go to Litchfield or the like.
The market for modified cars with a compressor, V8 conversion or the like is tiny. Especially in europe. They do have a more relaxed attitude towards these modifications in america.
But as you can see by the absence of responses to your thread, putting a supercharger on a 911 is frowned upon by most Porsche guys.
If the 991.1 GTS you already have is your absolute dream car and is a keeper for eternity and you really want a compressor and you have £25k+ to spend on this and are prepared to potentially kill your engine (very, very easy to do with a kit like this) and you are willing to reduce reliability and longevity and also are prepared to have a less valuable car afterwards and you are prepared to have higher maintenance cost, sure go ahead
It is your car and you should be happy with it. But you need very, very deep pockets and a „money no object“ attitude to get something like this right. Maybe wait for that lottery win in the first place? And if you win, wouldn‘t you rather want to „upgrade“ to a Turbo S? In the meantime make sure to enjoy your GTS
