I built an all forged 2.0 stroker (integrated engineering kit) that is going in next with a big turbo so that I can give TT911s a run for their money. Boxster remains stock as to build to the level that the TT is would cost 3 times as much. Besides, Boxster is a nice handling slow cruiser while the TT is a zippy daily commuter with a much nicer and more comfortable interior.

I do have it in. It is capable of moving the Box around the yard. I still have finishing up to do.
I tied the exhaust into the stock muffler annd decided it's way too quiet. I want a little noise to have some fun with it. The cooling system is all tied in. The intake system is mostly done, I have the intercooler behind the left scoop and air filter behind the right scoop.
I own a VW/Audi shop in upstate NY, I work on a lot of Vanagons. I love these engines. We put 1.8t engines in them too.

I was very close to putting a TDI Diesel engine in this car, even had one in place as a mock up.
I'll try to post some pictures if anyone is interested.
