Especially for the base Boxsters, I dont think the higher-flow intakes make much of any performace difference, but they sure sound great. BTW, make sure there are no vacuum leaks resulting from the install, thats a great way to start lighting up the CEL.....

I've drove about 200mi since i put it on (went to the dragon). It sounds good and feels good, and no problems at all. I really only got it for my exhaust that is going on next week, now that is going to sound good!

I guess everyone missed the Excellence article where they pulled the pants down on ZUCS a few years back for their intake that made LESS HP on the dyno?? ZUCS stood for Todd Zucione. Same guy who owns EVO. He shut down "ZUCS" and renamed it "Evolution Motosports". Buyer beware. Now he has worked with Sharkswerks to crack the security code on the GIAC software and will be facing LARGE lawsuits. GIAC dumped them like a bad habit after working with them for years.

EVO Intake
Why hasn't someone come up with a low boost supercharger that goes where the AC compressor is now? It's right next to the air intake box. I would gladly trade my AC (which I use once a year) for a SC.

Good question!
The space under the intake for the AC compressor is VERY small. I believe you would have an issue with belt slippage also considering how far away the belt tensioner is from the compressor location.
Do you use your defrost? It turns the AC compressor on when you do
