If you do searches on this forum concerning superchargers and turbos, you'll find a lot of info out there already. Let your fingers do the walking.

Unlike rice burners, the boxster is very expensive to mod and you will not gain much HP unless you drop a lot of cash ($$$$) into the car.

Welcome to the family.

I sincerely urge you to drive the car and enjoy it for a while before you start looking to modify it. You'll find the parts / dynamics about the car that you feel need improvement then be able to target the $$$$ in that direction. Like Randall said, modifying a Porsche can run into some serious $$$$. A LOT more than you are used to with rice. It would be terrible to realize, after you spent thousands (yes, thousands) on an aerokit that your money would have been much better spent on an adjustable suspension.

As for Superchargers, the only company currently doing a kit for the Boxster is Imagine and I can vouch that they are a top notch shop. Stephen, the owner, has a passion for these cars that shows in his work.

I haven't seen anyone going a turbo kit, likely because of the issues with space and heat.

Truer word have never been spoken!!

For the body kits, I suggest picking up a issue of Excellance and look around you will find a set you like more!

Go with Ebay. Some of the better known dealerships sell on there.
You can get the sideskirting (factory) for about $700 and the factory front bumper upgrade (GT3) for $900-$1000. Add some 18" 5 spoke Carrera lights $2K and you've got a pretty nice look.
Some people go non-factory on the aero with fiberglass parts but those require more work to fit properly and like all fiberglass vs. Poly-U can break easier and that's NO FUN.
I added GT3 Recaro Pole Position racing seats $2K-$3K that matched my red interior perfectly.
My old car was a 1.8 Miata with a full Racing Beat aerokit and BBS RK's and lots of suspensions mods (for racing not looks).
