Go to ImagineAuto website and see how the 2.5L Boxster w/ a blower flys. I was amazed!

Have you done a compression test or cylinder differential test? And have you had the 99 engine sleeved and all the other 2.5 "updates"?
I see new rear tires in your imediate future, SC whine from a red light becomes addictive.

Yeah it is indeed impressive for only 4.5lbs of boost. I wonder why more people don't have it.

I bought the the kit used with 20k miles on the blower unit. I believe its recomended to change the oil every 30k. Im going to do it prior to install for it will make my life much easier. The kit is in such nice shape that you wouldnt hardly even know it was ever on a car.

Iowas:
Im sorry I missed your question, I believe this 4.5 lbs of boost blower set up is supposed to give the car 60 to 80 hp. I will have much less $$$ than buying an S model plus hopefully my car will have that unmistakable whine. If I would have bought the kit new for 6k plus and paid 2k for install then maybe it would have been a bad idea.
