Boxster 98 2.5 Twin Turbo

Very nice car! Great pixs.

this one taken with my phone.
Good old 750i Sony Ericsson.

Must say, I'm still learning to drive the Boxster with this new setup.
Car is very grippy with wider wheels/tires but yet feels a bit twitchy at speeds and under braking.
Oh, and it's quite a bit faster..


I think a need to include a model in the pics. What do you guys think?
Besides.. It's a bit silly for passers by to see me taking a picture of just the car..
Hmmm..

Hell, I want to see the twin turbo! Pop that cover off so we can see what it looks like in there.

Check our my previous post "Tale of my Twin - Part I".
I don't know how to make a hyperlink to other posts..
Anyway you'll find the pictures there.

Bottomline is, I'm very happy with it so far.

So far, so good man, I'm liking the look you're going with. Any plans to deamber the lights?

Looks Awesome!!!!

Regarding de-ambering the lights...
I have thought of it. I wanted to go for the litronics/clear + rear LED (clear/black),
but have paused for awhile with the investments in the Boxster.

I still have the dreaded ingition switch to replace (have the new one laying around) and I have to replace my driver side window regulater (also laying around).

But before this I need to put my house in shape!

[Gerardo de Kort]

Ahh yes, yes. Dynoing.. I don't think I'm pulling the 6psi yet as the turbo's come preset conservatively. I have seen it at +/- 5.5 . I don't even have the gauge installed. It's laying on the passenger side for now.
It is a bit dangerous driving at 120 with one hand on the steering while holding the boost gauge in the other and trying to read it (oh and the roads tend to be a little bumpy).

I have already recorded some but they don't look that great yet.
Don't worry, I'm working on these things.

Have mostly just been enjoying the ride .

As for the sound.. I guess I could take the top off and record it while revving.
Was planning on removing the soft top anyways.

vIDEO ON BEHALF OF THE FORUM!!!

Well I did it.
Took the hard top off.
Struggled but managed to take the soft top off too.
Aside from 3 13mm screws (each side) there are also two black phillips head screws you'll need to take off. On the 13mm i suggest a socked and for the phillips you'll need the shortest screwdriver.
So far managed to only post a small clip (but very high def wide screen).
Will work on the other one, where I rev it all the way.

Good luck.
If there are any problems, let me know.

I'm going to sleep now..

Clip did not work for me.

I would love to hear your set up.
