Agree with JAAY about space in the Boxster engine bay.

I have a B5 Audi S4 with the 2.7T engine and it's a very snug fit in *that* car with the twin intercoolers and intake plumbing for the turbos etc. and it has a much larger engine bay up front.

Also, given that engine is a "V" block and not horizontally opposed I think the vertical dimensions alone would make it impossible or a very poor hacked fit in the Boxster.

The turbowerx kit or a supercharger would be better options for forced induction and more HP with a 2.5 engine.
