What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Looks great. Love to hear more about the 3.8 conversion.

As far as the 3.8 goes, the best way to describe the car is that it feels how it should have been from the factory. The car dyno's at 321 hp/270 ftlbs to the ground which is 101 hp increase and about 80 ftlbs increase in torque over stock. The chassis feels right, not over powered. It's a true sleeper. I haven't had much seat time in it since I've taken possession, but I am very happy with it so far. The motor was a brand new 2008 3.8l motor with the X51 option. Custom intake was made for clearance issues and an updated ECU was added which involved some re-wiring of the harness and re-flashing of the ECU to make it all work. This work was done back in 2008 by vision motorsports.
