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 usual way to go is to consult with either Gemballa or Ruf. They should be able to sort you out with as much bhp as you can handle.
There is some doubt as to the longevity of the engines thereafter - but 400+ bhp in a Boxster sounds - enticing.
Ruf, I believe, can put a 996 3.6 engine into a Boxster - which should be very reliable and stormingly potent.
Ask yourself though - do you *really* need that much go. 260bhp makes the car faster than 99% of cars on the road and the *handling* will keep you ahead of most things.
The amount of money it would cost you to upgrade you could buy a hell of a lot of driver training for - which will make you quicker in *any* car...

any good links to boxster exhausts, any reviews etc etc
any ideas on the best options in terms of bhp/£?
£5k is too much at the moment seeing as I haven't even picked it up yet. what about airbox, chip and exhaust? £?
Just bought a new boxster s(cancelled order in the right colour - silver! with sat nav, phone mod, full leather(blue), sports seats, 6CD, prof stereo, alu small pack) on saturday (was looking at tuscan/boxster s/m3). Eventually settled on the boxster based on better handling, better brakes(inc stability) better quality, better residuals etc etc.
Now the only thing it wasn't the best on (3rd in fact) was performance, how and what should I do to improve performance? Chip and exhaust? Who do I go to? Any advice gratefully received.
