Default Boxster 987.2 Upgrade

Purchased 2009 Boxster S launch edition three years ago and have loved the car. About a year ago I bought Cayman R dampers and springs which stiffed the handling while giving a good road ride. Earlier this year I decided to upgrade the motor with bolt on items. My tuner “Open Road Tuning” in Havertown, Pa. did an excellent job. Driving the car now gives me a broad smile every time I start up and drive the car.
The upgrades include Soul valved exhaust from headers back, BMC air filter, IPD plenum with GT3 throttle body, new paddle shifter steering wheel for PDK, and Softronic tune package.
The changes transformed the car and the driving experience with increased performance,
beautiful sounds and engaging driver experience. Really happy with Tuner Andrew and result.

That sounds great. I did the Cayman R suspension and FVD tune, airbox and exhaust on my 07 BS and it all added up to a more responsive and more fun car.

I've heard mixed things about the plenty and throttle body, your experience is good? What I've heard is that the power curve gets pushed upwards so while you get more HP it's less useable under 4000 rpm.

Enjoy the car!
