the problem with going strong on forced induction with these cars has always been cost. it's much cheaper to drop in a 3.4 or 3.6L motor and go from there. hell, you can even add a set of schrick cams, sick exhaust & intake, etc for MUCH lest than the cost of cracking open the motor to lower the CR & upgrade the rods & go turbo.

BTW, one of the nice things about nitrous is that the gas cools the charge by nature, so detonation won't occur until cylinder pressures are quite high. obviously no need to intercool a nitrous charge.

kirk - i have seen a turbo app on a boxster where they put a large intercooler in the trunk. i will see if i can find pictures.
