turbo tie-rods?
Anyone fitted the turbo tie-rod upgrade to their early 911?
Is it worth while?

I have fitted (or bought cars with them already fitted) turbo tie-rods to several early 911's.
However, this was not the only modification carried out - the cars in question had uprated torsion bars, antiroll-bars, Bilstein struts/shocks, lowered suspension (1-1.5"), increased negative camber, wider/lower profile tyres, etc so I can't really comment on what the fitting of turbo tie-rods on their own would do to the feel of the car.
Beware though that there are lots of inferior quality turbo tie-rod kits out there (especially on ebay).
