all valid points gents... i just found the concept very interesting and was wondering if anybody knew more info or links about it. what some people go through to make their dreamcars a reality, can be inspiring or a cautionary tale!

in Massachusetts, used Boxsters are reasonably priced.
a couple of years ago, i approached Jerry Pelegrino (European Performance, Natick Mass who's serviced about 28,000 911s, Boxsters and Caymans over the past 30 years/and if you're ever in the area, be sure to visit his enormous repair shop).... asked him about getting a Boxstah and dropping in one of those nice TPC turbo kits. or maybe waiting a couple of years and going really massive by doing a Carrera GT Junior via the newest Cayman S.... he turned around and looked at me for a moment in discust and with a thud, sternly replied, "NO...."
the Boxter turbo ideaaeer died there.
compared to a 996/997 Turbo motor, these are very challenged water-cooled engines.

but, what the hell do i know (see caption of the video. he's running 7 psi and no blueprinting)....
btw, the idiot nearly crashes at 2:00....
especially considering the ims fixes now available for these engines.... but not in a 968.
