2.7 boxster, not what it should be ???
Discussion
Hi guys, i have a 2.7 2000 boxster, which drives lovely and does me proud.
A friend of mine just picked up an S plate 2.5 one and gave me a drive this week......
curious as to if the smaller engine would feel slower, i was absolutely gutted to find the car was a lot quicker, more responsive and sounded more porsche like if that makes any sense.
so my question is, was the 2.5 tinkered with, or is there a issue with my car that is not throwing up any errors?
i checked the ecu on the 2.5 to look for any ecu chip stickers, but found nothing. though the 2 ecu's are very different in appearence
im a bit deflated now

The most common cause of a loss of power in your car is an end of life air mass meter. We see quite a few Boxsters which, when on the test drive, are as flat as a fart. The owners haven't noticed the gradual power reduction because it happened over an extended time frame.
That would be the first thing to check.
