I'm not by any means a Boxster afficionado. I DO, however, have LOTS of wrenching and car experience going back to my Dad's indie shop beginning in elementary school.

Given the issue with the IMS bearings affected by sludge, it does not AT ALL appear that these engines would be a good candidate for a low temp thermostat. Whatever gain you might expect in whatever area, would almost certainly be negated by the increased tendency for sludging as a result of a low temp thermostat.

With sludge being such an enemy of the critical IMS bearing, this sounds like a VERY bad idea to me.
