Has anyone installed a turbo on a 2.7 liter cayman /boxster ?
I am thinking of doing this ASAP .

 

I had a set of K24's from my 996 that I wanted to put on my 987 boxster so bad. Cant wait to see the results

 

Looking forward to this!

 

Sounds like a great idea to me. Congratulations and I am jealous! As soon as I can swing it, I plan on having my CS TPC'd.

 

Tuned in!

Hope to hear greatness from the planned install!
Are you planning use some of the money you saved by not buying the "S" and use it to make your car even more powerfull than the "S"?

If so what do you plan to do with the other $3000 you saved? Tires? Track time? Brakes? A vacation maybe? Ahh yess of course more mods!

Isn't that a bit unfair to the guys in the "S"? How can you live with yourself knowing the disapointment in their eyes as the cheeper, lighter, higher MPG, better residual value "base model" spanks their "S".

I have already done those mods you mentioned plus many more so my car is ready to bring it on maybe I should put a big 2.7 liter badge on it ?
after researching all options from dropping a 911 engine and trading up to a 3.4 the TPC was the logical choice . also my curiosity has me wondering what the 2.7 with a TPC will produce . Could be the monster all us 2.7 liter owners have been wanting

 

you can get an audi a6 2.7t badge...

 

THAT IS AWSOME!! ,Heading to the Audi parts store tomorrow to order one

 

for the money i like the idea of turbocharging the smaller motors. i wonder if the result will be longer life.

 

i doubt it would increase the life but it certainly wouldnt shorten it.

 

i was thinking of the cylinder wall thickness, the piston size, the compression ratio, things that i do not know about these engines; wondering if the smaller engine is at all 'over-built' and better able to cope with boost.

 

So how long is it going to be before we can see some dyno number?

 

I can't wait to see this.
i have been thinking about turboing my 2.7 for a while now.
This just might be thing to get me to pull the triger.

 

AFAIK the system wont be installed until mid to late january.

 

porschepet, could you elaborate on the reason you believe the tpc turbo is the logical choice after your research (which included trading to a 3.4)? i'm curious as i'm also seriously considering doing the same (going with the tpc turbo for my 2.7).
