"Although if they did offer forced induction, that means that they would have to beef up the internals of the motor so it's not all bad. It'll be cheaper for Porsche to just use the friggin' 997 moto"

Good points. According to my Porsche techs:

1-The current 996 Turbo motor is pretty bullet proof, more so than the NA motor. Apparently it is hard to kill these babies.

2-The current 996 3.4L motor is identical to the 986 motor "on the outside." The issue apparently is the electonics, which Porsche COULD solve in a heartbeat!

Hmmm, how about a nice 355 HP N/A engine for the Box? Lets have a real Boxster S.

Also, I think I would pay $80 large for that Turbo 997 engine in a Boxster!
