Think of your Boxster as a girl with a fondness for bad boys. If you don't treat her rough, she won't stay with you. Run her hard and keep the revs up. This isn't your mom's Corolla, and the fastest way to kill it is to lug it. It's a small motor with lots of horsepower but little torque. You need to spin it fast. De-snorkling (a free mod) will definitely encourage you to wind it out more often.
