Hi guys, i have a 2.7 2000 boxster, which drives lovely nad does me proud.

A friend of mine just picked up a 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 and 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
 
You have a prob
We have had a 1998 2.5 Then a face lift 2003 2.7 Much quicker.
Then a 987 245 bhp Vario cam plus Slightly quicker and more econimical
than the 2003 model.
Your air mass sensor my need a clean or replacing would be my first port of call
see how things are after that.
