I'm not so sure... How are the flow numbers on the Scooby compared to the heads on a Box motor? I'd think just a DIY turbo system on the Porsche motor would be the most cost effective, since you don't have to fab up motor mounts and transmission adaptors and all that stuff. The only real engineering problem is how to intercool it.
On the more extreme end, the GNS motor sure has a lot to say for it, the 600 HP mark is pretty trivial for those guys, but packaging would be hard. You'd be cutting out the sheet metal over the motor and tubing out the rear structure to get enough clearance and strength to hold it up. Anyone local to me doing this? I'd love to come over and help.
David, what are you thinking when you say multi-link suspension? My oldest son has a '91 CRX with the dual wishbone suspension in front (well, all around), and I've always looked at that design as model for how to fix a Macpherson-in-front car.
Oh, while I'm at it, does anyone know torque limits on the various Boxster/911 transmissions?
