I was thinking the same thing. Reads like copy written to increase search engine optimization.

That’s all BS (look at the number of posts, it's a dead give away), reads like the individual wasn't versed on the English language. Our compression ratio is too high to run any real boost. A rebuild with a turbo set-up verses a 3.6/3.8 swap should be a no brainer...3.6/3.8 all the way.

Not turbo but Supercharger

I have one of the Imagine Auto supercharger kits on my Boxster S. I modified most of the boost side piping to support 10psi at redline and installed a 2.25" pulley. I installed a water/methanol injection kit. This kit has been on my car for about 20k in it's current configuration. Too bad Imagine Auto went out of business. Turbo kits were all still being developed when I did this kit.

I assume that everything has "held together" ok ? Are you happy with the performance ?

I'm actually very happy with the performance of the kit. It doesn't reach max boost until redline but has about 3psi at 3k rpm. Power delivery is very linear, it just keeps building until redline. I don't know if I would trust the engine holding together if boost came on more suddenly. My car does eat MAF sensors and rear tires but gets average 26.1 mpg because I don't need very much right foot anymore.
