the rear wheels on a 1988 944T @ 1.3bar on Sunoco 94 gas!! I truly miss my old car as there is nothing (IMHO) that offers more bang for the buck in the used sports car market than a 944T. But I digress...
I think a K-27 might work but the issue is proper matching of fuel and air parameters. Slap a K-27/8 on a 944T with nothing else than a matching chip set and although the car makes solid power after 4,500 rpm, Jettas are walking away from you while you wait for the boost to come on (and that's with more displacement than a 9000). You would definitely need to go with a smaller hot side (like a #6) and make sure that you throw a lot of fuel into the mix coupled with a 3" downpipe and exhaust. Stand-alone engine management might be the way to go if you're going to be doing a lot of engine mods!
You might be better off having Turbonetics build you a hybrid of some kind. On my 944T, moving from a K-27/6 to a KKK/Garrett hybrid turbo unlocked the big power on the dyno and driveability was vastly improved. Throw-in the ball bearing option and you could have near stock driveability on your 9000.
If you need a spare K-27, I would contact powerhaus.com as they always seem to have a few lying around and that is where I bought my #6 hot-side.
Good luck!!

Derek
