I really have no preference. Turbo vs. Supercharger makes no difference for me. I just want more POWER.

I made my decision to go with the Turbo on two reasons. I spoke with the guys at Turbowerx and the sounded pretty good about their product (what else would you expect from a guy trying to sell a 7k kit). I also spoke with my service advisor from Beverly Hills Porsche. Although he discouraged me with doing either, he said if it was to be done that I should stick along the line of the Turbo kit. He claims these engines would benefit more from a Turbo than they would with a Supercharger. So I set myself up for a Turbo.

The guys at Turbowerx claim their kit for the 2.7L will add 80HP and 90ft lbs torque to the Wheels. This would put my car at 270+hp at the wheels.

All that really matter is the end result and that won't be known until my pocket is 8k lighter. I will keep you guys updated as the project nears. Right now I’m hoping to have it all done by Mid March to Early April. Hence I will dub it "March Madness"
