Wow, can't wait for some more info... If I can put on a SC on my 2.7 for 7k and get a reliable extra ~100 hp I would be extatic.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

There's an ad in Excellence Magazine's February issue for a new supercharger kit that's available for all of the Boxster engines. :dance:
It didn't have pricing so I'll try to remember to post the company's name and site when I get home.

I'd make sure I added a brake upgrade and replace the clutch during the engine work!

Brake upgrade... yup, that would be mandatory.
There's no way the brakes on a '97 2.5 would stop a 300+ HP engine fast enough to be safe.
I would imagine that the big red brembo package sold here and there would be the one to look at. Dang, it's expensive though. Something like $4k plus installation.

They have an alliance with Imagine Auto. From what I understand Stephen (iA) and Todd at EVO are great friends. Doc may want to que in on this more.

Does anyone have any updated information on the www.imagineauto.com supercharger that was discussed some time back? If this is the same set-up it does sound good. $7000 sounds like a reasonable price for the added performance gains. Especially versus an engine swap.

this sounds very interesting indeed, just wondering about converting a tiptronic thought, i was always recommended not to do it on my 2.5 as the tip could not handle the extra power

Sweet, it's FREE!!!  http://imagineauto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=II&Category_Code=boxsupercharger
The one in Excellence is from ImaginAuto. It says it's available now and for the 2.5, 2.7, 3.0 & 3.2 engines. The tests on the 2.5 gave a 38% increase in RWHP. Not bad, eh?
