Turbo kits for boxster ????
#2
TPC - $6000 for the kit. 16hrs labor they say
ImmagineAuto - $7000 for the kit
I like the TPC kit myself.
CORRECTION: $6000 TPC is for the 2.5L engine. the 2.7 is $7000

First986NJ is referring to the supercharger kits.
We use a centrifugal blower in our kit, running about 4psi of boost. This provides a very linear curve, and picks up about 85-90hp to the rear wheels. We use GIAC tuning on our kits. Also, all of our piping is plastic rolomolded, giving it is a stock appearance. TPC uses welded pipes which can fit a little different each time. Our 2.5L kit is done and ready to go. The 3.2L kit is finished, but waiting to be tuned.
TPC uses a roots style blower, which is quite inefficient, but provides a lot of torque down low. In they past they have used piggyback programming to tune the cars, but I belive they have switched to using Upsolute tuning. I don't know which exactly is better to be honest.
We just put a video of one of our 2.5L kits up on our website. www.imagineauto.com then scroll down and you will see the link for the video.

The TPC site states:
Q: How much horsepower does a 2.5 Liter Boxster generate at the rear tires?
A: A stock 2.5 Liter Boxster produces 143 - 145 horsepower to the rear tires.
Q: How much of a power increase can I expect from your Supercharger Kit?
A: Expect a 45% increase in horsepower and torque after installing the Boxster Supercharger Kit. A Supercharged Boxster will produce 210 horsepower to the rear tires, which is roughly a 65 horsepower increase over stock trim.
WHY would there be such a huge drive train loss for a stock 201 hp boxster to only put out 143-145 at the wheels?

Dont beleive any claims unless there are dyno charts...On another note about the ImageAuto SC in the video,seeing that RPM gauge fly(and I mean it) and seeing the speedometer creeping its way up super fast is amazing. What 0-60 and 1/4 mile times do you guys run with you supercharged 2.5L?

So I guess the two kits are kind of a toss up. I don't think that either of you demonstrate a terribly strong advantage over the other. Both kits are "market-will-bear" priced, so they cost the same almost to the penny comparing engine-to-engine. Of course, TPC offers a 2.7L kit now, and your's isn't ready yet.
