softronic offers a flash . installation is a breeze with your own laptop and you have the option to flash back to stock anytime.

FYI
The Boxster doesn't get much out of a re-flash. Lots of dough, not much go. An underdrive pulley provides more useable RWHP and torque than a reflash for $150-$200. Food for thought.

Don't throw away your money. Only 15 HP. Save for a 911.

Save for a 911 ? He is probally not that Old yet so IMO save for a Cayman

Cajundaddy has a good point but how much HP will the underdrive Pulley give him? 5-6? There will also be labor on that Install unless you have the Kahones and tools to do the install yourself .

If you have 1K to spare the Flash will made a noticable difference IMO OR
Get a aftermarket exhaust then you have a cool sound and some more ponies? I like the Remus or Borla .Higher flowing air filter and your Boxster is Rocking

I have the Softronic flash on mine. I didn't get much HP gain but it did add Sport Mode. I live in Bham, I'd be glad to help you with the flash if you need it.

Yes but does your Turbo Kit include a new Under Drive Pulley?
Boy Wouldnt That 5 to 7 more HP make that Turbo Scream
