A buddy of mine just got a custom nitrous system for his 70ish Buick Skylark GS. He said "I bet you could get your Boxster sprayed for about $500" which piqued my curiosity. I searched this forum and found a thread from about 3 years ago where someone said Toolpants had sent him a pic of a Box with a nitrous tank in the trunk, but no technical details. Obviously, nitrous is not something you need in the twisties, and okay, it does seem a little juvenile on a car like the Box, but for cheap, straight line horsepower, why not? Is it doable, or is there something about the engine that makes it a nonstarter?
