Hi,

My biggest concern would be Heat Management of twin turbos in a mid-engine setup. I have a mid-engined car w/ single factory turbo and despite having two NACA ducts and under-body channeling specifically to push massive volumes of cooling air through the engine bay, it still gets VERY hot. And this car has 30% more radiator surface and a cooling system w/ 1 gal. greater capacity than the Boxster. I've yet to be convinced that this issue won't have longterm effects on any number of ancillaries, Sensors, wiring harnesses and the tranny, especially the tiptronic. At least w/ a Supercharger (which has other issues) the Heat is not such a problem. Just my $0.02...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
