Considering what some people have spent on total aftermarket exhaust mods it's hard to believe the Turbowerx claims. I haven't got the $ to get into anything worth over a grand.
Does anybody own this setup and have opinions to offer??????
I would be highly skeptical. It would basically mean TurboWerx was getting more than double what other companies can get. In fact, I've not yet seen a full intake and full exhaust (headers, cat bypass pipes, and exhaust) yield a full 25 hp on the dyno for a Boxster.

Not saying it isn't possible, but I'd wager if they provide 1/2 of what they claim on a real dyno you would be lucky. You know what the say, if it sounds too good to be true......it probably isn't.
