I am always wondering what to with the Boxster and fire suppression. I try and run with everything but the engine cover off so there is potential to get to the engine bay in time. It would be nice to find a reasonably priced fire suppression system that could hit the fuel rails area at the first sign of smoke....fired from the coockpit
