If that's the case, then I would pass on paying up for the forced induction idea because I'm not sure I'd want to put further stresses on the engine, and instead, for similar money, consider finding a used 996 3.4L engine to drop in. I've driven a Boxster with such a set up, and it does give you more get up and go if you like more ooomph in 1st and 2nd gear stoplight to stoplight driving situations.
