Default Turbocharged 2.7L? Ever been done?

Hey guys, So I just picked up my new to me 2002 Boxster 2.7L. I put the car up on a lift to inspect everything underneath and all looked good. This is my first Porsche and I was suprised at how "out in the open" all the exhaust components are. So the first thing that popped into my head was how simple it would be to fabricate a turbo manifold for this car. Has anyone ever turbocharged a 2.7 boxster before?

interesting. The kit seems priced pretty high for whats offered in it, however I guess thats the cost of convenience. I cant seem to find what type of tuning software is used, if its a piggyback or a standalone system?

We have done quite a few turbo conversions on the 2.7L and have sent out many kits for them. Everyone has said how much fun they have with the turbo. The car in the video above has our intercooled kit on it and is making good power for a 2.7L. For more information, visit our TPC Racing Boxster / Cayman Turbo Kit
