Unlike Honda, Nissan, Ford, and Chevy a 2.5L 986 doesn't make a very good platform for hot rodding. At 80hp per liter there is not much left in there without driving reliability over a cliff. Most of the guys who supercharged them promptly removed the SC, quickly sold the car, or quickly blew them up. Heat and cylinder pressure are the enemy.

I will drive mine until the motor gives out and then quietly drop in a 3.8L X51. As it is I can still get into plenty of trouble with 201hp.
