New Boxster

[arethusa71]

Hello all,

I've been watching this forum for a long time, but I just picked up my 2001 Boxster S - So I guess I can post now. ;-)

The car is a 2001 Boxster S with 37k miles. The car is in like new condition. It has an Imagine Auto supercharger, and full exhaust, with high flow cats. This car has some serious power, but its very refined.

I wasnt originally going for this color, but I do love the green.

Any other Imagine Auto Super charged cars on the forum?

Congratulations on your purchase. Personally I really like that color of green on a Boxster it really looks rich. Could you explain the Imagine system and what it does and where it is available?

Congrats! Not too many RainForest Green Esses running around.

More Pics please!

It was a supercharger system sold either as a kit or installed at the office by imagine auto. They have since gone out of business.

Thanks all for the comments.

THe Supercharger kit consists of a procharger-C1 compressor, custom ducting, mounting brackets, and some random factory 'off the shelf parts' like DV valves, larger injectors, and maybe a few other things... There is also a custom exhaust manifold as part of the Boxster S kit. The ECU is also re-flashed with what I believe to be a GIAC flash. My particular car also has high-flow cats and mufflers. I think they were supplied by Fabspeed, but I cant be sure.

There was a full review of the kit in European Car:

I personally love the kit. I know many people are purists, but in this car... it works....

So looks like no other cars like this out there? Id like to meet others with the kit....

Wow that must fly. I've always wondered why more superchargers aren't used on cars as they don't have the turbocharger lag. Are you concerned about replacement parts?

The car is absolutely crazy fast. Looking forward to a track event.... I am only slightly worried about the lack of support for parts. Many of the parts are 'off the shelf' - But certainly, if I have a problem with any of the intake tubing I may have to replace with a custom solution. The compressor itself is made by a company called Pro-charger - and they are still around - see link below. And, actually the dealership I got the car from had to put a brand new one in, as the existing one had a bearing issue.
