I do wonder, if you have the money to do this, why you don't just sell it and buy something faster, but I enjoy reading these updates, and as a former Porsche owner I'm kind of curious to see how it turns out. (I never thought the engine was the Boxster's problem though, more the rest of the car.)

When I owned an SD1 I wondered what kind of performance for the money you could get by putting a Rover 800 turbo engine in an SD1 2000, rather than going down the obvious (and increasingly expensive) V8 route that everyone tells you to do.
And if you did want to put a V8 in it, there's that JLR 5 litre supercharged one that's sort of in the family.

Well once you break down the £/hrs used, you could prob rent something properly silly somewhere it can be driven to it's limit.

Then just use a cheaper vehicle for your main transport. A bicycle perhaps?
