It is interesting that Porsche has never offered up a Turbo on the Box. This is kind of out of character for them, as they have put them on many past models.

That could be coincidence or not. I guess I never thought of that before?

Putting a turbo on the Box would put the Box in 911 territory which is a big no-no cause when the guys who pay the big bucks for a 911 realize that a Boxster can be faster than them they will get kinda mad. This is also the reason why our engines are so muffled.

and on the above picture: I want to know what kinda shift kit that guy has!
