And i know the engine has problems with the ims and so forth. And believe me, that is already gonna be taken care of right off the bat. I am working that in with the price of the car, because i feel it a necessity. But at some point, i know i am gonna want more power.

If i do get a boxster, i would plan on twin turbocharging the car when i got the money and of course that would mean new stronger internals. But would it be better to get a raby engine, or would it be better to try to fit a x50 or x51 from a gt2 or turbo and then not have to worry about power? Those engines seem pretty stout as those were based off the gt1. And i would really like to get a gt2 or turbo but of course the price of a 911 is ridiculous compared to a boxster and way out of my price range at the moment.

From what I've read, the GT engine isn't a simple swap-in for the Boxster.
