IMHO the only thing the remote sensors are used for are low tire pressure and thus overheating of that tire so you know to get it fixed.

The spec Boxster pressures (29/36) should be set cold and will normally raise 3-5 pounds with driving. The raise in temp difference between front and rear should be accounted for in the Porsche spec (?) I would think...

Take care,

PS: How are the MOMO's working out?
Hi Ed,
