Thanks for the replies. It was what I expected (the engine not being able to fit) but from my knowledge, the Audi S4 Tiptronic and the Boxster Tip are one and the same. Porsche licensed its technology out to other companied that it owns.

Im looking at doing a transplant, but... I would love to rebuild a 3.4 with Nickies, Forged JE pistons, R&R Pro Billet Chromoly Steel Connecting Rods, an Updated IMS, and a Cross Drilled Crankshaft. That is built specifically for forced induction.

If TPC can get 550 hp out of a 3.4 with under 6psi on a stock engine.. Imagine what one built like this would be.

Im trying to find a blown or rebuildable 3.4 for a decent price.. like a buck or two. Not 4,5,6k which I could buy a complete, working engine for.

Who wouldnt like to own a 500-700hp Boxster? Talk about fun on a track. AX, and open classes.
