The throttle body has been discontinued by scargo. There may be others that will perform the machining but it is a real science with throttle bodies (can't just say; "let's make it bigger"). And your performance gain is going to be very small.
I in know way was discrediting the way you are going about tuning, clubhead. You have started down a path and need to see it through in my humble opinion. As Lux pointed out all your parameters are very close, so the info I stated earlier does not apply 100% in your case. The GIAC with a money back guarantee would be a wise choice.
In the end. I don't like the idea of buying products based soley on their dyno claims. Too many variables. If you are going to dyno I say do your own, use the same shop, same dyno, same people, same conditions and you will get the best results. I believe it to be a good tool Lux don't get mr wrong. But not the end all that many claim. Happy tuning all!
Bruce I would have to agree with you on the parts being improved upon. With Boxster tuning just starting to take off I think we will see some cool products in the next year or two. I have spoken with at least two ecu tuners who will make a flash for the Boxster (one that can toggle between stock @ mod programs by user). And there are exhaust systems coming around as well. I am in the same boat as Adam, my car is very new and full of warranty. I am going to keep it straightforward and try NOT to infringe on the warranty in a negative way.
I am really starting to enjoy this forum for Boxsters, lt's of great information, debates and opinions on tuning. Many other Forums are fairly dead on the subject. Lux, Bruce, Adam, Club, Fuhrius.....Great going!
BTW don't forget the F1 race is on tonight
