Where are you pulling the Cold Air from?

Who does your welding? They are a perfectionist. What does the finished car weight in at?

Please post more when you get a chance. Of course, let us know what the "kit" will cost and here's a stupid question….what kind of mileage are you getting?

A 4 cyl with 400HP? The power to weight ratio must be OUTSTANDING! WoW!

What kind of a mad scientist are you anyway?

Not sure what the final weight is going to be yet. Since it's going to be a street/Time Trial car with A/C, stereo and carpet, I'd guess somewhere in the 2800-2850lb range.

The intercooler is an air/water configuration, so the intercooler itself doesn't need any direct air flow. A factory center radiator is used as a heat exchainger for the intercooler with an electeonic Bosch water pump.

I do all of the fabrication amd welding myself. I am a bit of a perfectionist according to my wife.

Can u give me some of idea what this cost to do incl. engine, mods and labor for the street version? We might get a lower cost of running Boxster plus more power on 4 cylinders. I do admire your work. Looks very professional.
