Quick brief update:
Still waiting for more tangible data: numbers, pricing, timeframe, etc.
Things we do know:
*we have officially paid for 12 months of 986forum sponsorship. We dont have a banner at the moment because our website is being totally redesigned and is currently quite embarassing.
*we are looking at production of a minimum of 25 kits for the first wave. I will be actively contacting other vendors I am in connection with to help buy-down this order.
*A second batch of kits might/might not happen depending on response.
*It will be utilizing a very trick, custom designed high flow water-to-air intercooler.
*boost will be in the 4.5-6psi range with about a .5 psi reduction from the intercooler. (this is very efficient, most air to air intercoolers sap 1.5-2psi).
*boost will be as linear as possible while still giving great top end gains.
*It will cost less than the Imagine Auto SC kit (this is not a slam on them, their product, or their company).
*This should be available for the 2.7 and 3.2 as well (yes...3.2+ boost = :troll: ).
The great thing about a turbo system will be ease of operation. While even 6 psi is very safe with this type of intercooling system (since its the only I.C. unit on the market), you can also run less psi with a flick of a switch. This makes seamless reliability possible even in enduro races.
Please spread the word to your other Boxster communities to help spread the interest. We are not at the point of taking deposits but if this kit goes into production, chances are we will do one batch of kits. This thread will be followed with extensive details when they become available to us.
As it has been mentioned in the past, there are very few forced induction Boxsters in the world. We can extend this number past 25 kits with additional interest but will probably not be putting out another batch each year (unless the feedback is surreal).
Thanks again for your terrific feedback and questions.
