I'm good on the speakers thanks. I don't think adding a turbo to a boxster would ruin it at all. Nor do I want reenact anything from a movie I've never seen. Thanks for the input.

Hi Darin

Welcome to the forum! Don't let the charm and inept use of sarcasm of our users put you off. Forced induction on these engines is not that common but there are a few who have tried it. TPC is the main vendor I think and they do charge a pretty penny because they don't expect to sell many. Others may have a different view on what is the main difficultly you will face, but here is my opinion. Very few people have cracked the ECU program and can get into the programming. This is required to match the fuel supply to the increased air flow. Work-around methods include having an additional fuel injector driven by a piggy back computer like an SMT6 or similar. That is the method I'm going down with the supercharger I'm working on installing. And when it's done I'm also going to see about getting a big-ass BOV if poss just like my wife's VW Bora 1.8T.

Let me know if you decided to go down that road and good luck

Dave
