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!

I'm pretty sure that my next car is going to be a GT3- preferably a 997, but I'll take a 996.
