Dyno Report : Evo Highflow Intake Kit on Boxster S

[Adam]

Well, I just want to let you know that your hard work has not gone unoticed or unappreciated. I will be more in the upgrade market later, but I need some of this warranty to expire first. Your reports have swayed me torwards Dansk parts when I finally do take that plunge.

"And sometimes I wonder why I'm just about the only one posting dyno reports and everyone else is asking for experiences and not wanting to be the guinea pig "

I think the reaon is obvious based on what you are going through. How many folks want to spend the time and money on an upgrade that gives the appearance of a downgrade?

These component makers are selling a bill of goods UNLESS they can make this stuff WORK FOR YOU! You paid your hard earned money for more performance, not less.
Seems like they should step up and solve this issue for you and not the other way around!

Just my two cents.

I think you'll see more and more people mod their Boxsters now that they've come down in price and more enthusiasts are picking them up. But I think you're going to be the "guinea pig" for a while... Too many people use the "butt dyno" and just assume they're getting more power.

With that said, I have to agree with Bruce somewhat. Bolting on stuff is great. But it also takes a lot of time and money. And unless you dyno (like you do), you'll never know if your car is running right or if the mods even work. But on the other hand, I do think that the Boxster is choked at the intake and exhaust manifold so you are definitely doing the right things.

Your posts have been very informative though. Keep up the good work.

You are asking all the right questions and approaching things correctly. Many of us would do the same. Having the time, money and all. The big question to me is whether any of these intakes does squat without the GIAC to go with it. The evo is by far the most popular and the scargo is right there in my mind. Can you really gain back all you lossed plus enough to justify the price?

We all appreciate your hard work!! Please keep us informed!
