Super charge or not. 2.5L - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Im still new to the whole car thing but i've heard of a super charger for 2.5l. Is this true? I also thought that there was no way in hell that my 98 would survive such a change and that the engine would blow up. I sure like the idea of super charging my box. Is it possible to do it and run it on a low boost? (whatever that meens)

Sorry, I didn't read the super charger install post before I posted this. But still, it doesn't sound too safe.

if you arent sure what forced induction is (turbo charge, and super) then it is better to do some HW about it first so you can understand the risks invovled and make an educated decision. It is very possible to turbo or supercharge these motors on a low boost setup. however, there are longevity risks that go along with it.

has anyone supercharged the 3.2 engine? Just curious.

Do you have any good resources where I could get familiar with the turbo's and super chargers? I was planning to find out if it was capable and then see what I need to do to make sure my engine will be alright.

It's somewhat dated now, but is still an excellent resource for anyone interested: "Maximum boost," by Corky Bell. Probably on the shelf at your local Barnes and Noble or Borders.
