Boxster with a Turbo?

[Brucelee]

Good stuff. Is it me or does it seem like a Turbo add on should produce more HP than these are? For some reason, I am thinking a Turbo is worth 75-100HP. Am I off base here?

If what Subanez says is accurate, that the Boxster engine already has a high compression ratio, then limiting the output would be the only way, short of lowering the base compression ($$$) would be the only way to add this type of upgrade. And I agree for the money, you'd think 75-100 hp would be the mark. Must be why there ain't too many turbo kits for our cars

Neil @ Orton knows his stuff. There has been much discussuion on other boards as well about turbo's. The 2.7 kit yields 310-320h.p. not bad. Remember these are low boost set ups using dual turbo's (and a large intercooler) and well over 20k...not exactly a TPC supercharger kit. The Orton sourced kit is serious business, but very pricey. I like the idea of a turbo kit better than an engine swap but the price is out there but may come down in the future who knows. I think 12-15k is reasonable.........c'mon Neil cut us a deal!!!
