Look like your opinion hasn't changed much in the past year.
I am surprised you prefer the supercharger over the turbo for the Boxster, though...

Hi,
Doesn't surprise me that my information (or opinion) hasn't changed at all. I have had a fair amount of experience with Forced Induction both in Aircraft and Automotive applications. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. But these are not generic, rather, they often depend upon the application.
With the Boxster, being mid-engined, I think the Heat Management issues alone (let alone the plumbing issues) would outweigh the advantages of a Turbo. So, I would most likely choose the Supercharger route.
That's not an endorsement, at least without Intercooling, or some other way to prevent detonation given the high CR that the Boxster has...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
