Gary, thanks for weighing in here. You're the voice of experience and I was hoping to hear from you.

Hey, Gary, how much boost does your setup run, out of curiosity?

Gary in BR · 07-18-2011, 07:54 AM

A mind boggling 5.5

It also has a instercooler mounted below the car.

Lol, plenty. What sort of output did you get in the end?

turbos and motor swaps are just not worth it in my opinion. i think i would sell my car add the money for the new motor and all the other crap your gonna need , plus a couple of bucks and get a 996 Gt3. the mack daddy of them all ! No frankenboxster or I.M.S crap. A real racing engine.

Wayyy more than an engine swap. 996 GT3s are still $60-75k.

Plus then you have to drive around in an a$$-wagger!
