Dont get bored....

"I have heard with additional work to the engine at the same time boring out the engine, replacing seal on some other stuff you can add another 20-30 hp on top of that. But I also hear the additional work is about another $5,000 on top of having the turbos retrofitted onto the engine."

Just a side note: the boxster engine has Lokasil lined cylinder walls which CANNOT be bored out. The block is slip-cast with two types of aluminum: one which maximizes the block's torsional resistance and one which maximizes the wear properties of the cylinder walls. Therefore you cannot simply widden the cylinders....look it up.
