How bout their claims that the car's ECU will detect the deficiency and accordingly dial back the power output?

It is true that newer cars don't like seeing low tension.
But the Boxster being a small car without a lot of accessories and electronics, it will be perfectly fine with its stock alternator, even with an under drive pulley.
If I don't sell my car, it's my next move!
