I have a S2 931 that I have installed a rebuilt S1 turbocharger on. I have continually chased hot running problems that initially were fuel related due to dirty fuel infrastructure which I have hopefully addressed. In the Porsche FSM it says that the different chargers are not interchangeable. Is this true.

Yes. I have checked wur,Aav,fuel distributor,changed fuel pump and filter,cleaned fuel tank,all vacuum lines are good. It starts cold beautifully, idles strong,runs good until I drive for a while then it starts to starve out,with slight backfire, at which time it seems to almost overheat and die. After throughly cooling will go through the same process. I don't remember having this problem with the Original s2 turbo except when the fuel filter clogged which is clear now. I changed turbos because of an oil leak in the original and I got an s1 turbo that looked to be in better shape whichI had rebuilt.

Your problem is probably not the turbo.
They are interchangeable, meaning they will bolt on and the car will run fine.

Agreed. First thing I would try is replacing the ignition module on the inner fender well. There have been a few recent reports of these causing symptoms like what you're describing when the heat sink glue dries up and disintegrates. These can be gotten new for very reasonable cost.

I drove a s1 turbo on a s2 for a couple of years, no problem at all!

Many frankenturbo’s out there and the owners are none the wiser. PRevious owners and garages have been mixing them up for nearly 40 years

Thanks for those replies. I will try the ignition module. This is one of the best forums with absolutely priceless help.
