BBI has a nice looking site but I did not see anything about the underdrive pulleys.

I must have in my back up brain.

Gary....Be Careful! The underdrive pully IIRC will give you more boost and if you are already at 6SI that may put you over the top. I will check with IA on my kit tomorrow

No never mind just theSC unless the turbos are running on a belt system..... I honestly do not know much about the systm you are running. i would check with your guy first though on that.

Also have you done the plenum yet?

OH Yes, I would check with the turbo supplier first.
I am not into blowing anything up. I sent the shop an email today to see if they make these for the 2.5 and what sort of underdrive the pulley creates.

Ive looked around and can not seem to find the plenum for the 2.5

Do you know of a place that makes them. I dont think RSS is making them for my engine yet.

I'd be skeptical about buying from BBI.

I sent them an email about the compatibility with the 3.2L 986 S and the response was;

Thank you for your interest in our under-drive pulley,

It will work on your 986 boxter great.


I don't want any products in my car that were made by people who don't know how to properly spell my car.

They've had great reviews on the caymanclub forum though.

You know, the sad part is that we see Boxster spelled incorrectly so many times I almost did not catch it.
