Sounds interesting but like the others said, only 350 HP barely makes it worth while
unless the price is cheap enough.

A replacement engine for someone thats had a catastrophic failure for under 6k might seem like a viable alternative.

Much more than that and you could buy a newer used Boxster with decent miles on it and sell the old one as a roller for the racing folks.

What sort of price point are you thinking for this Audi engine.

I assume your talking about a rebuilt, overhauled Audi engine?

Definitely keep us posted on progress with pictures, specs etc.
