The main reason for the intercooler is not because of the exaust transferring heat over to the intake, but because air heats up as its being compressed and you want it to be as cold as possible so you can fit the maximum amount of oxygen in each combustion cycle. Also, if the temperature of the air in the intake is too high, you can get knocking.
Just a heads up for anyone wondering about other power adder options. Supercharging and Procharging are teh same thing (procharger is a brand of supercharger). The other option is Nitrous.
@carsornothing yeah it's commonly known as a dump pipe or screamer pipe when it exits to the bottom of the car without being recirculated back into the exhaust after the turbo
FAVORITED! Excellent write up dude! I need a few things before I can start looking into a turbo set up, I need a new exhaust from the header down, bushings, and front brake rotors. But that's it, then I will start getting stuff to go turbo. Oh and I need a new battery and passenger window motor.
could a flat four boxster engine be turbo charged?

@westsidelax32 most all new subies which now come standard with flat fours are turbocharged

@Dtm7193 depends what sort of setup you're going for. What do you plan on doing with the car?

Dumby. U don't have two compressors. U have a turbine and a compressor I've been balancing turbos for over 4 years.

At least some one caught on to the supercharger/procharger thing. Obviously they are they same thing, just a brand.

If you don't have an intercooler, the turbo charger is a waste of potential horses

about the wastegate, isn't called a screamer pipe or something when they route the waste gate out of the car like that?

I always thought that the need for a intercooler was because when the air is compressed it heats up. Cooler air which is denser will have more power.

@oilerman9406 yes that's correct. I can't believe I forgot to mention that too
