Yes, you will need your radio code if you disconnect the battery to reset the ECU.

Be aware that the car might initially run like crap after the ECU reset (and you'll wonder: WTF did I just do?). Just drive it normally and it will sort itself out over 40-50 miles of regular driving (along a few cold starts).

After that, if it still runs like it has permanent turbo lag, then let us know and someone will suggest the next course of action.

Reset computer ....runs good if you didn't know how it was supposed to run. You might think it's a miata though. Did i read somewhere that the 125 01 superseded the 125.00 and there had to be a ecu software update ? thought i had but can't find

From the pelican website:

If you own a 2000 Boxster or 2000 Boxster S, then you need to make sure that you have the proper sensor installed. Much confusion lies in the fact that most people don't know if their car has been updated by Porsche or not. If the old sensor that you removed is 996.606.124.00, then you need to replace it with the same part number (or have Porsche update your DME software to accommodate the newer style sensor: see Technical Service Bulletin 1/00 2445 Air Flow Sensor -- dated 4-18-00). If the old sensor you're removing ends in 125.00 or 125.01, then replace it with 986.606.125.01 (the latest version available).

Yes, this was done to my 2000 S in 2003.
