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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 5Original post

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thx for the response guys. ToolPants, That looks great! How much did it cost for the conversion if you dont mind me asking?

POST 8Original post

The owner of the car is Rami in Belgium. 2001 Boxster S with twin turbos on the original 3.2 motor. He has picture of the conversion on his site. <a href="http://www.ramis-porsche.com/" target="_blank">Rami</a>

POST 9Original post

that boxter looks flossy. Did he change the intake manifold when he did the twin turbos? I was told that it makes a huge difference, just read it in the racing or upgrade forum whatever. If I was going to do the conversion I would definitely go for the gt2 front bumper just because!

POST 10Original post

Hey sorry that boxter is the sick! I just clicked that link where is this car, I want a ride! So fat! Was that billet thing off the block the motorsport oiling kit or was it just an adapter and or maybe additional oil pump for the turbos? Very Very cool.
