Personally, I don't believe in forced induction without intercooling. Are you looking at a single or twin turbo setup? Single turbo on a flat motor like this strikes me as a plumbing nightmare.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, I think the SC kits make more sense on these cars, if at all, as the M96 has somewhat proven to be an iffy motor, and as much as I'd like more power out of my S, I'm not willing to risk blowing up the motor to do so. This is why I am planning on a 3.6 sooner or later.

Best of luck to you.

Vapor Ware......It's been almost a year since I originally contacted this company and enquired. First it was next month, next month, next month. The last time I heard from them they were in final testing. I think this kit will not appear anytime soon. I wonder if enough people were interested maybe we could get TPC to do a run of thier 2.7 kits.

Hello,

I found this message in another thread today...

This is when we decided to work with them on a Rotrex supercharger kit utilizing the same water-to-air intercooler. Last time we talked they were waiting for Rotrex to get back to them on compressor maps, three months ago or so...

My business partners and I have been reluctant to put R&D costs into something without a responsive partner. However, once things get underway with RbD we will actively seek out a partner with more experience and a credible reputation.

For example: Oscar Jackson and Oscar Jackson Jr. of Jackson Racing have recently developed a mix of Rotrex powered supercharger kits for the Miata and Honda Fit. With their reputation for excellance and OEM quality/reliability we will likely seek them out.

Thank you for your patience. Our own mouths are watering as well and we really do want to see some boosted Boxster's. It will happen but it will be done correctly first and foremost!

Cheers,
