Well since it's a mid engine design, you'd have to flip the rp or flip the tranny upside down, so mounts would be an issue for those of you looking for a bolt on install . The 3.2 in there puts out 270 hp and i've seen aftermarket turbo kits putting out well over 400 hp in a 3200 lb car...so in short, yes the boxter tranny would work, the S models have a 6 speed but you have to worry about custom axles and so on...

The reason why i'm doing an entire 993 rear end is cause i'm using it the way porsche designed it. I got some suggestions of possibly narrowing the whole suspension setup, but even if you're really really good, you'll screw up the geometry and it won't work like it's suposed to. I can use stock axles, stock hubs, stock sway bars, stock 6 speed g50, and bilsteins PSS9 setup, all without killing the geometry...
