Marc at Turbowerx is working on a twin turbo for the 3.2. He's saying around 50% increase in power at 4.5 lb boost which he feels gives a good margin of safety with the stock engine internals. Installed cost, around 8 grand. For another 5-6 grand, he can upgrade pistons, rings, etc to handle higher boost and says a 500 hp build is possible and the stock S brakes and sport suspension would be fine. BTW, he said their kit for the base model makes max boost by 2300 rpm so not much turbo lag to speak of. Hey, no one needs a 500 hp box, but to get more hp than a 911 tt for a fraction of the cost...I find it to be a very appealing concept.
