For $800, even 15-20 HP, without loosing somewhere else on the power curve, would be money well spent.
Considering what some people have spent on total aftermarket exhaust mods it's hard to believe the Turbowerx claims. I haven't got the $ to get into anything worth over a grand.
Does anybody own this setup and have opinions to offer??????
I would be highly skeptical. It would basically mean TurboWerx was getting more than double what other companies can get. In fact, I've not yet seen a full intake and full exhaust (headers, cat bypass pipes, and exhaust) yield a full 25 hp on the dyno for a Boxster.

Not saying it isn't possible, but I'd wager if they provide 1/2 of what they claim on a real dyno you would be lucky. You know what the say, if it sounds too good to be true......it probably isn't.
