Thanks Jim! See, that's the kind of insight I was looking for!
I agree that the "shot boost" has limited appeal to me - but maybe not to others.
I too am not the biggest fan of forced induction for the reasons you listed. I remember test driving a Volvo S60R not too long ago (all wheel drive, comfortable, a bit sporty). I have to admit I was pretty embarassed by my driving. I would hit the boost point and suddenly throw myself and the dealer back into our seats. All on or all off. I'm sure with experience I could have mitigated that effect, but it was a major turn off at the time.

If all one wants is a SHOT boost, I think Nitrous (spelling?)is the way to go! Cheap too!

Hi,
I thought about a Nitrous Kit, but couldn't figure out how to plumb it into the Cabin... " I was really going 17MPH Officer? Seemed much Faster..." 
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

LOL! It's the PERFECT solution for all those who aren't happy with the power of their Boxster. It wouldn't add any power - but at least they'd be HAPPY!
