Guys are getting 700hp+ out of those 2.7t's. I'm shooting for a more reliable 500hp. I'm not sure the suspension could handle more than that. I also plan on using a cayman 6 speed to make the swap easier. The mechanical part of the swap looks to be very easy. Electrical, now that's a different story.

Hi Woody, thanks for the info!
Ideally I would like to keep the twin turbos. But then I need to learn a lot more about turbo powered engines, pros and cons....
I was reading a long thread about a guy in England I believe. He did install a 2.7 with both turbos in his Box. He had several issues with working out an intercooler and the air supply piping. But he was also working on a very tight budget in a carport which probably didn't help much. I agree, the electronics will be my biggest struggle as well.
