As far as mods go, I have done the B and B exhaust and the Evo Cold air intake kit with excellent results. I definately notice more low end power in daily driving. Most noticable was the sound of the exhaust and intake, it sounds like a different animal at full throttle. My buddy with an 02 911 C4S drove my car without the mods and the weekend after the mods and immeadiately noticed the difference and in fact has ordered exhaust and intake kit for his 911!
Now I havent dynoed the car yet, but given the results that I have experienced, I dont really care about the numbers... I can FEEL the difference and that is what matters to me.
Cost: 500.00 for the intake... 135.00 for the install
810.00 for the exhaust and 50.00 for the install
Total $1495.00
Increased driving satisfaction...... PRICELESS
(cheesey, I know, but it somehow works!)
mind you I am in the car business and the installs were mostly
favors!
I will invite anyone in the Phila area to come and drive my 01 S
and feel the difference... with my supervision of course... haha
Happy motoring,
Joe

does anyone have a 911 engine swap done on thier boxster, or know anyone who does? I know I'm not the only one to think of it and have seen it before. There was one for sale in Dupont Registry.
On a side note, does anyone know if an aftermarket spoiler for the 987 that replaces the stock one would fit on a 986? (Speedart 987 roadster spoiler)

Ruf has an engine swap program, but it's pricey. New US location in Texas.

Here is what Ruf Auto Centres says about the 987 on their web-site:
"2005-2006 Boxster S:
RUF offers a 3.8 liter 997 Carrera S Engine Conversion for the 2005-2006 Boxster S. Each conversion includes a crate motor from Porsche, complete RUF exhaust (headers, sport cats, muffler), RUF air intake, RUF tuned 997 ECU, all necessary wiring, hardware and labor.
The RUF 3.8 liter Boxster S conversion will yield 365hp and has the same reliability and maintenance intervals as a RUF 3800S and 997 Carrera."
