If you configured the car to run a remote oil cooler, it might, but most people (and correctly so) want to run the large "S" oil to water OEM cooler as it effectively cools the oil in the summer and warms it on cold starts in the winter, and it simply will not fit under the Boxster intake with that plate underneath it. And I have no idea where you would mount a remote oil cooler of any appreciable size on a street driven Boxster so that it could get ample air flow over it; there is little room at the rear of the car, and the front is too far away for the OEM oil pump to handle the load., which is why Porsche went with an oil to water cooler in the first place.
