There are some supercharger kits out there folks have bolted to the boxster motors. The reason for the limited power in the boxster is: 911. Its the head of the household and no whippersnapper for 1/2-2/3s the price shall have more power

I wonder, if they did offer a "Boxster Turbo" or a 3.8L Boxster RS, if it wouldn't be priced similarly to the 997 counterparts. I don't know that there is that much "more" technology being added to the 997 over the 987. Then again, I'm no Porschephile.

Because it would kill the 911, only those that need the back seats to lug kids around in would buy it.
