Hi guys,

I am really enjoying the Boxster but I have the performance itch striking me again

Right now I have a 2002 986 with a 996 Engine, custom headers, 100 cel cats, tuned ecu. But I want to improve the performance to around +380 BHP at the crank.

What would you recommend to do?

Install a custom made supercharger kit? There is a company that claims that it can be done here in the Netherlands. Costing about 6000 USD
Search for a 3.8L X51 engine. I am wondering if I have to modify a lot to swap to a 3.8L 997 engine because the car already has a swapper 3.4 in it. A 3.8L x51 can be found for around 9000 USD.
