Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The only real gains other than just a bit more noise, will cost a few quid. Ther are options such as turbos etc that 9m will know more about than me, but an effective power bost is a 996 engine transplant. It could be done for say £5-6k.

Gemballa do a twin turbo conversion in the reigon of 480bhp.
POST 4Original post
2 x 100 cell cats, free flow silencer, K&N or new airbox = +12bhp peak and +21bhp in the upper mid range; price around £1500 fitted. Supercharger = 50% more torque at 2-4000rpm, 50bhp best gain in the middle and 25bhp at top end, £4300 fitted. Sell 2.5, buy an S = 50bhp peak gain, more torque everywhere; £10,000 fitted. Remove 2.5, fit 3.2S engine and box, get it all working, similar to above; £8000 fitted. Fit cams, dme, headers, cats, silencer to new S engine, 292bhp & 330Nm, £6000 fitted. Somewhere in the above may be a package that goes with your wallet, fitted.

I like the idea of the Gemballa twin turbo conversion/996/Boxster S engine swap but my funds don't reach to those dizzy heights. I guess I could afford NineMeister’s ‘2 x 100 cell cats, free flow silencer, K&N or new airbox’ but would I feel any difference? (Thanks for the replies!)

Nine, can you fit a supercharger to the box S? How far could you go on the tuning front?...Come on, let's have some big numbers from you!

Hi, I've got a 2.5 Boxster and would like to do some upgrades. The current audio has only the speakers in the dash, does anyone know of a speaker upgrade for the doors and maybe a subwoofer? The other upgrade is to the car’s performance. I was thinking of a sports exhaust and a bit of doctoring ECU, any ideas?
