98Boxster was correct I was looking at the wrong error code (for earlier Boxsters).
An entirely new throttle body was installed. Part was like $350 and the labor was two hours. Car works fine now.

I never got an explanantion as to why the throttle body would go short after the interior was soaked. The way these guys were operating on this day seems like they get an error code read on their computer, the computer tells them what part needs to be replaced (in my instance the tb) and the tech installs it.

I talked to the tech and he showed me the 5 printout of what their computer tells them to fix. Seems like there is VERY LITTLE guess work.

as for the top relay, that was annoying. The new relay that I installed myself had come loose. They pushed it in all the way and the windows stoped lowering when going over the bumps with top down. This close to spending $130 needlessly.
