82mm TB for a 3.2 "S" good idea ?

Been reading about the sabotage on the Boxster motor to reduce the power out put.
So I have been thinking about going to a 82mm TB. I have a 997-110-416-03 plentem coming to test fit.
Anybody tried it ?

And I will also be going to a aftermarket exhaust system. And suggestions on what has been working ?

Thanks,Randy

Looks to be a no start mod. I'm told the engine would need to turn in the 8500 range for it to be a help.

What "sabatage" are you referring to? HP/liter, it's not clear to me that the Boxster is detuned. The engines are smaller than the contemporary 911 engines, and thus had less torque and HP, but I haven't seen any indication that they were hobbled in any way.
