Subaru turbo kit in 99 boxster?

[Bigsmoothlee]

I have to agree with topless. I looked at supercharging/turboing my 2.7, and the HP numbers barely got to 300.

I installed a 3.4, and I always have 300hp. No worrying heat soak, skyrocketing oil temps, a/f,boost, and all sorts of temp gauges installed half assed in my interior; that are associated with a turbo conversion.

Subaru turbos are top mounted, by the way...so it would be a poor choice.

Yea, I read that thread a few months ago. The car was well done, and subaru engines are great.

But no subaru turbo kit is compatible with a boxster.

That being said, I would also say that getting the plumbing done for a custom boxster turbo kit would be unusually easy, but the pain in the ass would be mounting the intercooler and tuning the DME...
