I am gonna throw in my $.02 here as well. I come in with the majority on this thread. I enjoying reading the discussions and different points of view on putting a turbo on the Boxster. After doing my first DE last month I am convinced that the Boxster could use more power. The car chewed up the corners but by the end of every straight there was that Carrera right on my ass again. I think that depending on the cost of the kit it may be better to swap the motor or trade up to a newer S though. Of course if you don't want to invest that much and only need a small bump in HP I can see where a turbo may be the way to go. I am not an expert on turbo units by any means but from what I have read so far I would be really concerned about using a unit without an intercooler on an engine that wasn't designed for a turbo in the first place.

On a side note-one of the main reasons that I joined this forum was to find about about new products, vendors etc. I have learned an awful lot from this board in the short time I have been reading it and I hope to see more posts from new and potentially new vendors.
