Turbocharging a Boxster isn't cheap or easy, regardless of the engine so if you are only wanting 350bhp i'd probably be looking at the Audi V8 (will require hacking to fit it).

Thanks for chiming in .You have more credibility that most on this subject. I just wish the local Smog Test Laws here in Ca;California made it possible. It would have saved many of those with failed M96 engines a lot of money.
