Well done to pass SMog !
The cure for many of the Boxster vacuum problems is silicone hose,brass barb fittings and a Mighty Vac to test the system.Cheap enough but tedious. Your repair will outlive the M96 !

I got a 3/16 brass barbed fitting from the hardware store and some 4mm silicon tubing.
I put the barbed fitting in the hole, and connected the tubing to the other end of the fitting and then the check valve.
I used another barbed brass fitting to plug into the "Y" connector.
Unfortunately the brass fitting into the manifold is hidden here behind a hose. I will try to get a better photo next time I am in there.
I also replaced my vacuum reservoir as it was leaking.
When done I had 18"Hg on a vacuum gauge I installed.
After a month of messing around my car cleared all monitors in 200 miles and passed CA smog!! |
