Few Turbo Boxsters (986)-Why?

[JEhunter]

Interesting info so far. The TPC guys aren't cheap but their results and testimonials are impressive. I guess other options would include swapping out the 3.2L for a newer 3.4 or 3.6L. The extreme option is the LS1 V8.

There's extensive information on both options on the forum. But then again, if you had searched you probably would've answered your turbo questions as well.

All that and it is illegal in some states.

So maybe the turbo option isn't ideal due to expense and long term engine issues... So if I were to pick up and older Boxster S with 120K miles, what would my options be for a 3.4 or 3.6L motor swap? What motor fits best? Any idea what a reconditioned low miles motor would run without labor (I would do that myself).

I know I'm jumping around on this thread but as you can see, I have 4-5 posts and I'm just looking at my options before I open up the check book. Thanks

Use the search function as I have suggested. Google this and you'd find the pelican parts article that talks extensively about which options can run with which DME. Year of the car and DME it's running will limit your options. Search and report back if you can't find what you're looking for.

OK, the search function works great. Tons of into on the site and exactly what I needed.
