Hey everyone, new guy here! If you couldn't tell by my user name, I don't own a Porsche. I have a beautiful 2008 Mustang GT... So what am I doing on here???
Well, my friend is looking into buying a used car, and among all of his options, he is looking for something FAST and relatively inexpensive. We looked on AutoTrader today, and we found an amazing surprise...

Low miles and looks absolutely sick.
Unfortunately, and no offense to you stock guys out there, the 2.5L V6 isn't the fastest thing in the world, especially when he has my car to compare with.
So, we got to thinking, why not look into a supercharger or turbocharger?
For my Mustang, a turbo/supercharger runs anywhere from $3700 to $5800. Most superchargers bring the stock 300 HP up to 480-500 rwhp. There's a really really good twin turbo for $10000 that makes up to 1200 hp. We regularly run up to 10 psi on our stock motors.
Anyways, I've had a difficult time finding kits for the 986 2.5L Boxster. My friend would rather get a Stang and supercharge that than drive a stock 2.5L... No offense to anyone!
Whats out there? What # increases would he see? How much boost (psi) can he run? What is the best value?
Really appreciate the help!
