ive already replaced the two front 02 sensors.

im thinking about doing a c foam

i don't know it just feels like theres a lot i need to do.

anyone's boxster heat past 180 degrees on a hot day or in traffic for a while. Mine does but it never exceeds like 195 and when it reaches that level, radiators come on and it cools down.

i bought the car in 04 he had changed the top, new clutch, new flywheels and fixed the air conditioner. Year later i had a minor accident in the front right side, so i got new radiators and headlights etc. so nothing big.

This really sounds like MAF issues. However, make sure the intake hose is seated fully and properly. Those OEM clamps can rust through after a few years and are cheap to replace. Otherwise it sounds like the MAF is sending improper readings but your CEL isn't going on because the readings are not 'Out Of Range'.
