The Booster repower kit is desgined for the first generation 2.5L 986 Boxster. This generation of Boxster provides the best mechanical and regulatory compatibility for the repower.

In addition early pre 2001 (Model Year 2000) 2.7L cars are also supported via an additional kit which provides the required interface to the chassis wiring harness.

We also offer a motorsport kit for the 987.1 chassis.

If you’ve ever considered building a kit car and have some basic mechanical skills then you can build a Booster. The ethos of the repower kit was to take as many ”pain points” as possible away from the build process. If you haven’t done this sort of thing before then the enhanced kit contains a full build manual which has full guides for all aspects of the process.

For the basic build only hand tools, a lift trolley and an engine crane along with a way to lift the car high enough to remove the standard engine are required. Essentially the same tools required to remove the standard engine. From there it depends entirely on what you wish to do yourself with regards exhaust, charge cooling and boost pipework. These components can be made predominantly with off the shelf parts or be entirely bespoke depending on your target power.A double garage is more than sufficient to complete the build in.

The fundamental kit is designed for those who are building something very different to the standard “Booster” it includes only the front engine mount components and has been made available specifically for those building race or track day cars, Caymans or 987 chassis vehicles with none standard gearboxes and associated ancillaries.

The enhanced kit is designed for those who may not have undertake a project like this before. On top of the engine mounting components it also includes many bespoke components such as a flywheel, fuel pump kit and engine sensors allowing you to rapidly build a Booster without having to design too many parts. It also includes an extensive hard bound build manual which guides a builder through the process and details all aspects of the build process including cooling system, electrical system and fuel system along with a full BOM of standard components and OTS parts required.

The enhanced kit is also available as a split kit with a kick off kit providing all the required components to prepare the chassis elements, wiring harness, fuel system etc. along with the build manual. The remaining components can then be ordered at a later date, as and when your engine is ready for installation.

The build time depends entirely on the amount of bespoke components you wish to include in the build. A builder starting with the enhanced kit and having already arranged for exhaust fabrication etc. to suit their chosen turbo charger can have a car up and running in as little as a month of evenings and weekends.

The Enhanced Fit Kit includes the vast majority of parts required to get the engine running in the chassis, essentially it contains every part required that you can’t buy off the shelf, but it does not provide parts for the cooling system, charge cooling, turbo charger or exhaust.

These items are excluded because they depend entirely on what specification you wish to build. If you are using a standard turbocharger with a lower power requirement you can use an engine bay mounted air/air intercooler and the vast majority of standard parts, alternatively if you are building a 500bhp monster you will likely be custom building or sourcing from the aftermarket items such as the exhaust manifold, downpipe, an air/water charge cooler and various associated components. The nice thing is the aftermarket performance parts market for the 06A 20V engine is enormous and incredibly well supported.

Exhausts are very much personal preference and one persons too noisy is another's too quite, however the requirement for building the exhaust is extremely simple and well within the capability of any exhaust fabricators.

The cooling system plumbing is mostly addressed via the use of an aftermarket silicone hose kit originally designed for the Mk4 Golf GTI with the addition of generic straight lengths, angles and hose joiners.

Detailed guidance on exactly how to plumb, wire and generally make run is provided in the build manual included with the enhanced kit. This manual also includes a bill of materials for every off the shelf part required.
