TPC Supercharger?Do 2.5 and 2.7 have the same Supercharger?

[pappas]

I have bought from Ebay a supercharger.The guy who sold it to me told me that will fit 2.5,2.7 and 3.2 models.

I have a 2.7 Boxster.I took it for installation and told me that is for 2.5 and that for 2.7 will not fit.

Does anyone knows something and can help me?Thanks in advance

What kind of supercharger?

In general A 3.4 is a different animal. Benefits of a SC on a 3.4 is nominal. A 25's and and 2.7's are probably interchangeable with some tweaks.

Supercharger was made from TPC.I have a 2.7 2001 Boxster and they told me that supercharger was made for a 2.5 but the guy who sold it to me told me that is ok for 2.5 or 2.7.

Send an email to Casey at TPC and tell him what you have (part #'s). He can probably point you in the right direction. Maybe just a different bracket. As you know there is not a lot of room around the motor so a little creativity may be needed for a good fit.

There are 3 TPC kits available for the 986. There is a kit available for the 2.5, 2.7, and 3.2

The 2.7L Kit is basically identical to the 2.5L with a few necessary changes. The 2.7L 986s require a set of early style headers to function properly. These headers are included with the 2.7L Kits.

Check into a set of high-capacity three-way catalytic converters too. These units are supposed to yield an 18 HP increase,,,

One other difference is weather it is "drive by wire" or cable. They are slightly different at the manifold but different enough to require fabrication of a new mate (if wrong). TPC officially doesn't support this product and they don't, in practice or principle.

Junic said the operative word;creativity. Go into it with the idea that they don't really fit anyway, keep a mallet handy and you'll be way ahead of the game.

Does anyone has photos of the 2.7 supercharger?

Or manual of it or something?

I have these for the 2.5.

[pk2]

If you have the manual for the 2.5 I don't think much is different. Somewhere in the archives here or elsewhere is a Is a guy named Matt who kept a log of his install. Search.

pk2, did you ever get yours installed? If yes, how has it worked out for you?

Does anyone know why TPC won't stand behind their product?

Sure it's in,

I don't drive it that much, maybe 1000k since I pit it in so I have no long term data. But no problems so far and I can't imagine life without it. With that said, in doing it, I made a list of things I should probably check every once in while, minor disasters waiting to happen

The reason they don't support it is probably because they haven't sold them for a long time and there's no potential for making any money off of you. However, You can probably get them chatting if you pretend you want to retrofit it with their new "custom"(not) AIC and 800cc injector. Worked for me once but takes finesse.

Good luck, PK
