Must say I've learned one 'elluva lot at those forums. Those guy are doing it all every day and to the max. Aside from this little cadre here, It's pretty hard to find anyone doing much ongoing stuff with the Boxster.

Good evening everyone,

You mention that the sc creates alot of heat. Did you get EGT readings prior to installing the sc? If so what was the baseline compared to now?

A few more gauges will be one of my summer projects, dont worry guys I have something pretty sharp up my sleeve.

With the dropping in price of the Boxster and the racing series getting off to a good start I think more and more shops will make Boxster specific parts for the engine and suspension.

There is allot of knowledge to be learned from the "ricer" guys. I find myself reading the super streets type of magazines to see what they are doing. I agree that they know what they are doing and they push those cars to the edge.

To update you guys on my car, I added the lower suspension mount a few weekends ago, it makes a difference!! I think the difference may be larger in my car with out the aluminum plate than what most guys see. The cars with the plate do see a large difference, so I am not sure what the plate does. But because of my intercooler I mounted it below the mounts.

In the picture the bolts where not tightened but i promise they where before the test drive.

And to everyone:
More (horse) power to you!!

Gary
