Thanks for the reply.

I really would never consider a "bastard child" car with another manufactures motor. I can push the budget to 40k for the car, and I figure if I spend 15k on a 03-04 boxster s with high mileage, I couldn't imagine spending over 25k for the engine upgrades.

Rebuilding the motor

Nickies sleeving with JE pistons $4200
Custom billet connecting rods $1700
Head porting and polishing ~$1000
shaft regrinding ~$750?
Headers ~$1500
Exhaust $1000
Intake $400
IPD Plenum/ TB ~$1400
Fuel injectors ~$900
Billet tensioner $300
IMS retrofit ~$1000
Engine tuning ~$1500-2000

Total in parts is around 16k, and I have a great affordable Porsche specialist around that would do all that for 6-8k based on the work he's done for me/ people I know in the past

I'm considering doing the Flat 6 course and doing the work Myself. ( as long as you are systematic building an engine is not that difficult and I have a good friend whos been build high hp cars for 20+ years that could help)
