A Boxster with a Punch

 

When the 986 Porsche Boxster was introduced to the public in 1997, we got our first taste of true driving nirvana. Here was a small, mid-engined roadster with all the attention to detail and driving dynamics of the flagship 911, at a fraction of the price. Since then, the Porsche Boxster has been lauded as one of the best driver's cars ever produced, even when compared to many far more exotic cars. The only complaint drivers have with the Boxster is with its anemic powerplant. With far less than 300hp on tap, Boxster owners were left wanting. Finally, TPC Racing is here with a solution for those on the hunt for HP. By providing drviers with an amazing 140whp and 100lb/ft of torque over stock, the TPC Racing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit(S/Non-S) is truely the ultimate 100% bolt-on turbo kit for the MY2000+ 986 Boxster. This amazing amount of power is achieved without any noticable turbo lag and with such smooth integration, that you'd swear the car came from the factory as a Boxster Turbo.

 

 

Power and Reliability

 

The focus of TPCRacing is to find the perfect balance of power and reliability. That goal has been achieved and surpassed with the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit. Becuase of the immense amount of power this kit generates, many drivers have had the question: what effect does adding the Boxster Turbo Kit have on the engine's overall reliabilty? The answer is that the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit has almost no adverse effects on the motor's longevity. By running the kit at a very conservative 4.5lbs of boost, there is little added stess to the internal components of these extremely stout motors. Maintenance is very simple as well. We simply recommend oil changes be done once every 5000miles or once a year, whichever comes first. We also highly recommend that the oil is either Mobil1 or Redline or another hgh performance synthetic motor oil. 

 

 

 

Staying Cool

 

In order to cool the massive amount of compressed air being fed into the Boxster's engine, TPCRacing employs a liquid-to-air intercooler setup for maximum efficiency and ultimate power. This system works in conjuction with the OEM front center mount radiator.  Whether you are facing hours of stop and go traffic, desert heat, or a weekend at the track; the liquid-to-air intercooler setup used in the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit will effectively manage intake air temperature.

 

The Sound to Match the Performance

The TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit completely replaces the stock exhaust system excluding the exhaust manifolds/catalytic converters. The exhaust included the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit produces a healthy rumble the will give you goosebumps. We went through many different designs during R&D to come up with a muffler setup that would produce an excellent tone while being perfect streetable. During normal driving conditions the exhaust maintains itself at a nice low rumble, but when the throttle is cracked open those around will know for sure that this is no ordinary Boxster. Made with aircraft grade stainless steel and polished to a shine, the exhaust in this kit provides an attractive and aggressive, sound and appearence with ZERO drone or resonance. 

 

Comfortable in any Situation

Daily commuting with the TPC Racing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit is a pleasure. During normal driving conditions, the car performs like any stock Boxster; with very smooth throttle response and power delivery. The car is pleasant to drive as a daily commuter and in traffic it’s like driving a regular car. But as you press your right foot down a little harder, a whole new world opens up as the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo transforms from a sedate street car into a firebreathing M3 killer. There is no turbo lag at all offering an astounding 75lb/ft of torque gain at only 3500 rpm, making it great when you just want to get up and go or for making lane changes with ease. This amazing combination of power and refinement makes the TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo the perfect car to race at the track during the day, and drive home in the evening.

 

Finding the Perfect Tune

The secret to the amazing power and smoothness is our most advanced tuning system yet. The TPCRacing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit uses 6 larger injectors controlled by our cutting edge ECU flash. This technology helps us provide the most well integrated system on the market, giving the driver the feeling that their Boxster came from Germany as a factory Boxster Turbo. 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions


1. Will I need to upgrade the fueling system to provide adequate fuel flow for the turbo kit?

2. How do I tune the turbo kit once it is installed? 

TPC Racing Turbo Kits come standard with ECU Tuning included, so NO additional tuning systems are required. Once your ECU has been tuned by TPC Racing, it is a simple plug and play installation, and you are ready to go!


3. Will I need anything else for the installation, that is not included in the kit?

If your vehicle is equipped with a 6speed manual transmission, it will be necessary to purchase a Front Center Radiator Kit for the Liquid-to-Air Intercooler system. This kit includes a TPC Racing Center Radiator, and all the necessary OEM mounting brackets.

4. What models Boxster will this kit fit on?

The TPC Racing 986 Boxster Turbo Kit can be installed on any MY2000 or newer Porsche 986 Boxster.


5. I have/am interested in a vehicle with a built/swapped motor; can this kit be installed?

All vehicles with built/swapped motors are considered "special projects" as they usually entail more than just a simple installation of the turbo system. All "special projects" must be discussed with TPC Racing's engineering department.



6. Can TPC Racing Turbo Kits be shipped internationally?

YES! TPC Racing Turbo Kits and other products can be shipped to almost any country around the world! (shipping charges will vary depending on location)



7. Will my vehicle need any other upgrades (brakes/suspension/drivetrain/etc.) in order to handle the added power?

All 986 models are required to upgrade to 987 style exhaust manifolds for installation of the turbo kit. 987 headers ARE NOT included with the the TPC Racing 986 Turbo Kit. In order to handle the added power of the turbo kit, the OEM clutch assembly will, at some point, need to be upgraded. We have many different options of clutch/flywheel upgrades depending on the application(track/street).



8. Are there any special maintenance procedures?

As with all high performance vehicles, regular maintenance must be performed to help ensure the longevity and proper operation of all engine and turbo kit components. Oil changes must be performed every 3000miles, or once a year, whichever comes first, with a Porsche factory approved oil. For those who drive more aggressively or use their vehicles on track, oil changes should be done more frequently based on how hard you drive.

 

9. Will the turbo upgrade void my factory warranty?

As with any aftermarket turbo kit, the TPC Racing Cayman/Boxster Turbo Kit will void your engine's factory warranty. The rest of the vehicle will remain unaffected.

 

10. Can I use my aftermarket/stock exhaust in conjunction with a TPC Racing Turbo Kit?

NO! All TPC Racing Turbo Kits come with a full stainless steel exhaust system, specifically designed and engineered to work with the rest of the components of the TPC Racing Turbo Kit. There are no aftermarket/stock exhaust systems that are compatible with a TPC Racing Turbo Kit. This is because when an aftermarket turbocharger system is added to a vehicle, the standard exhaust layout often times will not allow for integration of the turbocharger and related components.
