I think your idea is a false economy. The Boxster engine can't reliably be boosted (IMHO) and it is very expensive. The right way to do it is to install the 3.4 engine from an early 996. This guy has done both (he blew up his booster 2.5) and has lots of information: http://www.trentcarter.com

I'd say get the S for a modest premium and enjoy. In a couple years Porsche will likely have a Boxster with the 300 hp we've been asking for all these years.
