I would be interested in a modestly priced kit that provided modest performance improvements. That means my vote would be having a unit without an intercooler.

I just posted a note about a dyno run I did with my 2000 2.7L Boxster that has a TTP intake and performance chip. I am making about 198 hp with that rig, but it was expensive, over 2K for the chip and intake and installed. I would like to be able to massage a little more performance out of my engine without breaking the bank.

I also like the response characteristics of a supercharger instead of a turbocharger, but I cannt take the noise of any of the supercharger units I have heard. I have considered getting headers and high-flow cats, but as you say, that is a very expensive way to go to pick up a few hp, if any, just my 2 cents,
