      TPC has had some impressive turbo kits out for the Boxster and Cayman but they have now started doing lower compression forged internal turbo motor builds as well. The motor started as a 3.4 liter which was sleeved then bored to accommodate 10.0:1 compression forged pistons. With the new pistons (100 mm bore vs. standard 97 mm) displacement is 3.7 liters and horsepower gained from the baseline is just under 200 at the wheels. With boost raised some more getting into the 500 whp range seems possible.

        I think i would be content with just the turbo kit. That car must be blazin fast esp how light it is.

        Yep, the non-GT1 stuff is pretty weak by Porsche standards.

        exactly. the 3.4L wasnt exactly Porsches greatest invention either. Bad balance shaft bearings, cylinder liners dropping, horrible oil consumption to name a few. the 3.6L was much better improved.

        3.6 was better but still was plagued with the RMS issues.
