Question Boxster S turbo kit

Has anyone installed the Boxster twin turbo kit?
Is there a US manufacturer/distributor of a turbo kit for the boxster?
I have seen a twin turbo kit for the boxster at http://www.t-t-p.de/english/986.php , but this seems awfully expensive for a turbo kit at $21,000 usd (we can super charge a miata for about $2000 usd).
If anyone does have one of these kits or knwos anyone who has installed one, is it 'emissions' friendly and is the car still reliable?
Thanks,
Scott

Is it true that the tt kit is upwards of 20k ? How many of these kits have you installed? Reliability? I have heard that the high compression of the 3.2l engine and a turbo makes the engine run too hot. is this true?
