Im just so tired of hearing the car isnt designed for boost. Im on my second car that wasnt designed for boost and went through the same thing on the last one. It just cant be done, the cars gonna blow, blah blah. Your ride in my car is all the explaining I need to do. How long do I have to drive my supercharged Boxster before people will say it can be done? 1 year , 2 years, 3 years how many miles? It just gets old thats all. Besides, IA flashes the DME and provides larger njectors I think. I cant really remark on IA's kit and dont feel like reading the web site. 5 PSI doesnt need an intercooler my car doesnt detonate.

I agree ohio, but id still ask for an intercooler and a cryo-gen system for Xmas (dont know exact name, but its a liquid nitrogen system which drastically reduces intake temp. from like 80 to 32 F)

Im still thinking of atleast alcohol injection but my car has no detonation at only 5psi and its heck of alot different than stock. The only problem is I've become famaliar to the boost.

Hp is addicting and you'll never get enough. Case in point, C6 z06 owners are calling me wanting more power even though they have 505hp stock in a 3,100 lb car.

@ Ohio,

Hey I know that your not worried about your engine blowing and so on,but here is some food for thought since you like to upgrade your car;
The Boxster "S" oil cooler fits on the base boxsters w/o a problem. It is almost 50% larger then the base boxster's;which allows it to cool larger quantities of oil faster. It's not much for parts(oil cooler and washers) $125,and I hear it's about 1-2hour D.I.Y. Don't expect a durastic change in daily driving,but on the track people note the car runs considerably cooler.(You have to drain coolant and refill it,I don't know how much that cost)

Just some food for thought! I will surely be doing this when I change my headers and exhaust(haven't decided which route to go yet).

I checked out their website (which I'm surprised they didn't link to here). It's good they use resized injectors and a reflashed DME map. Anyone know what the life expectancy of the supercharger is? I recall a centrifugal kit made for Honda Civics that only lasted about 50,000 miles before it would need new bearings.

Also, any idea what the intake charge temperatures are?
