i believe its also on ebay, all you have to do is push the buy it now button

[AUDIOGUY]

I think you should buy it Nicky!!
Just dont cry to us when it blows up!! Just joking.

I would probably do the 3.4 swap first before supercharging.

[super66]

man that 320 hp would be great.....I always find myself wondering what my box will look like in 7years/100k when the warranty expires....if its in good shape I'm thinking RUF....altho I don't know if RUF will only convert an S.....

[humara]

and it comes with several supercharger AND turbo decals/stickers/adornments.

IMO if you want 300+ horsepower you should just get a new S which comes with 295 horsepower, muct more reliable than a supercharger, and under warranty with no problems. Throw and exhaust and desnorkle and your damn close to 320 horsepower.

I agree, but its not $30k

[dmcutter]

hmmmm...reminds me an awful lot of mine, but when Turbowerx gets done with it it should be putting out more than 320 rwhp....

lets no get carried away... you would need a reflash to even come close to seeing that... 25+ is pretty generous for just a exhaust (assuming you are not touching the cats) and a desnorkle.


But this car here for sale scares me... that picture of the blower is from this... http://www.europeancarweb.com/features/0702_ec_supercharged_porsche_boxsters/photo_11.html and it is off a non-S red painted car... not this blue s. Even the dyno is from teh article...
Scariest part? putting turbo on a supercharged car...

This car also has $74k miles. You could probably lease a brand new S model for $700-$800 a month brand new with warranty. I see brand new non-s leases for $550 a month all the time.

Well I said damn close, even at 310 hp, your not really gonna notice a difference.

[porsche986spyder]

Yeah, that box looks stupid with the TURBO emblem on the back. And a supercharged decal on the front with a TURBO license plate??? They need to make up thier mind. Or just take all the TURBO crap off if it is actually Supercharged. There is a big differnce between the two. And I hate when people say Turbocharged. Sounds silly. It's either Supercharged or Tubo, not a combination of the 2 words. Just my 2 cents.

Those are good for another 15 hp

When do you expect to have your turbocharged boxster? Why did you go with a turbo instead of a low boost SC kit that would give more low rpm power?

I vassilate between the desire to go with a turbo over a sc kit in my car one day. What made up your mind for you?

[tombea]

I have a Mazda Miata that has done 430/446 on the dyno and it is a real kick in the pants and everywhere else for that matter. I am selling it so anyone who wants a kick, let me know.

ahh, no one wants that damn 15 year old car, just leave to the miata forum!!

Hey Randall-

I actually haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. Talking to Marc at Turbowerx, though, he's talking about 50% power increase, give or take, at 4.5 lb of boost. With lower compression pistons and some other internals, he could do a 500 hp build but that actually scares me, since I got the back end to step out on wet roads on the Dragon...he also says max boost by 2500 rpm. I would need to see the dyno curves before choosing between the turbo and IA's s/c; the curves for the s/c show a big drop in torque below stock until about 2500 rpm, but JP in St Louis says he feels no drop in torque with his s/c.

But I've pretty much made up my mind that for 8 grand, give or take, either of those low boost forced induction systems would provide the best noticeable and relatively cost effective power increase.

[JP-s-in st. louis]

Are you kidding me NONE of you guy's caught this. read that add again!


oh I can not be more mad then I am now. pleasse read the ad then click on my link and read that review that European car did on MY car. what the heck man this makes me mad he is selling his car as mine. GHEY!
