Torque Wrench.
I'm a stickler for torquing things to spec. My dad is the "Mr. GoodAndTight" type though.. it's annoying...
As was stated though, there's a lot of places on the Boxster that call for torque values, but it's hard to get a torque wrench in the space (a lot of torque wrenches are a bit large). They range from $20 up to several hundred. I've had good luck with the Harbor Freight torques, but use a Craftsman for most jobs.
