Seriously just buy another car. mod + mod + mod doesn't always = x. And the thought of doing a transmission swap with those mods is really expensive for hardly no gains. Check out turbowerx to see if they can do a 2.7 kit. I know they have them for the 2.5 & 3.2. The problem with the 2.7 is the compression is really high so some extra work be involved.

M3 : 333 hp curb weight: 3400 lbs (2004)
Boxster: 217 hp curb weight: 2777 lbs (2001)
Boxster + High Air Flow + Headers + Exhaust + Chip + Manual Transmission Swap: ========= 290 hp (remember the curb weight for the Boxster)
I'm planning on getting all these parts this month, and we'll see what happens against my friend's m3.
If i happen to change my mind, I'm buying a GSX-R 600.
Dad won't let me change for a 911 anyway so let's go for this and see what happens.
BTW, How much would a transmission swap cost? if its more than $2,500, screw it i'll do that later.

Sounds like a fun project to fast-n-furirize the boxster. I dont know about you, but I enjoy tip. Makes driving in traffic a breeze. Also, won't have to worry about "getting off the line quick enough," you just stomp on that pedal. Anyway, good luck, you're very lucky to have such a sweet car at 17 bro.

Yep,
I do have a twin turbo kit on my 99 Boxster I am over 170,000 miles on the car and drive it 5 days out of the week.
As prices have come down on engines and shops are not as busy as they where a few years ago, I would highly consider dropping a modified 3.4 into the car.
