So I'm somewhat new to the site but have been doing some car research in hopes of purchasing a fun project soon. My question is somewhat broad and open ended. If I can pick up a nice 2000ish Boxster S for $9-$10K, why wouldn't I drop another $7-8K into a Turbo system? That would be a lot of car and a lot of fun for less than $20,000. Companies like TPC in Maryland are pushing 365+ HP with the intercooled system and I think that's only 4.5 Lbs of boost. So, any opinion on the Turbo route?
Thanks, John (Atlanta)
