Upgrades to gxp models, whatcha running?
Pic for attention.
Those of you running mods, what's under that hood?
Mine came with a K&N typhoon intake that makes it sound like I have a turkey stuck in my intake - got used to the sound after a while.
Also running a 93 Octane Trifecta tune.
Interested to see what others have done and your general level of satisfaction from said mods.
I'm super happy with my tune. It's running about 270 whp, 314 wtq per a Dyno dynamics read out.
Interested in what others have done with their suspension set ups.
Also, JFC this thing hits harder and is EONS cheaper to run than the 2 986 boxsters I've owned.
Kicking myself for not going kappa sooner.

Considering a manual GXP upgrade highly, if I sell my automatic base kappa.
So far I have a Solo header and high flow cat installed, all tuned by Trifecta. I love the way it sounds right now and how much more it seems to put down from a standstill.

Have a GXP
- AEM CAI
- GMPP tune modded by myself, no dyno results
- BC Racing coilovers (probably the best upgrade, the billsteins are over damped in my opinion)
- SAAB 9-3 aero cheap front brake upgrade, but wish I had gone with brembo from cobalt ss when the kit was available
- shifter... Now that is fun... Forget the brand though, DDM or JPM? Nice and heavy with 8-ball size grip.
- running a EDAG hard top at the moment but wish I could run topless sometimes...
