No offense but why would I want a mix of a subaru 4 cylinder engine in my Boxster? Irrespective of the top HP I MIGHT gain, I lose torque and I frankly lose the whole mystique of the car.

If I was going to trash the crap out of the car's integrity, I would simply go with a larger Porsche engine.

That's just me.

Now, if I had a 944, the Ls1 motor is in there in a flash. Now are are taling torque.
