hey guy, since winter is basically here and my boxster is just gonna sit around.. i was thinking about installing a turbo setup in it for next summer. has anyone on here done a single turbo or know where i could go to get some help with this?

how much do you guys think this would cost me.. not trying to burn a hole in my wallet but im looking to spend 2-5k on motor work.. if not turbo what would you guys recommend with that price range to add a few HP to the wimpy boxster! thanks in advance.

If you do it properly it'll definitely costs more than 5k.

damn, is it even worth spending the money on or should i just sell it and go buy a whole new car! lol.. what would you guys recomend to do to get my moneys worth..

 

Talk to me personally as I am in Seattle and not to many other people have as much experience with this as I do. I was the first SC on a a 3.2 Boxster. I am now installing a 3.6 with my SC. We can talk about what your goals are for the car and I will help you make the best decision based upon that. i am sending you my number via PM.

Hmmm... $2-5K to spend? I think I'd pass on a turbo or SC. I'm not convinced that this is the best way to go long term. Personally I'd save up a little more and swap a 3.4L into the car. If you've got a base Boxster this would be a nice jump in power for you. I'd do the install myself, so it would be reasonable to do it with a used motor for ~$6K. If you can swap the engine yourself this may be something you want to consider.

 

turbo it....buy a book, learn what it takes and do it yourself.

plan on about 4500$ for a low boost, simple system all DIY.

once you done and it works you will have 100000 new ideas, so sell that system and build a bigger one.

its not hard, just take your time.
