Cheap easy HP gains?

[Uller God]

Best way to gain HP on the cheap is to upgrade to an "S" model.

With the exception of cherry Chapstick, there's no inexpensive way to improve the performance of a boxster .

There are those that disagree with the above sentiment, especially for the S cars.

Riddle me this. If the the 3.2L 6 was engineered to live up to it's potential, how was porsche able to get 20% more horsepower out of 6% more displacement using the same compression ratio and cams in the 3.4?

I love boxsters, but it seems the were given a load of salt peter at the factory to keep them in there place.

There are no cheap Mods, but there are ways to get more out of these cars without spending 10's of 1000s of dollars.

Appreciable gains can be had with some exhaust work, intake work (throttle body and filter) and an ecu flash. If you do the most of work yourself this can be done for ~1500 or less depending on how far you want to go.

I don't know what the OP is driving, but the first places I would look are rear cat delete pipes, underdrive pully, intake.

I think the "Desnorkel" is a bad idea. It's the equivalent of adding a "hot air" intake. It will likely increase air filter change intervals as well.
