I was wondering about that; blockage rather than an issue with a high G turn. Brad Roberts posted some data a while back that led me to believe that the high G starvation issue is not as relevant to the Boxsters as it is to the rear engine models. I may have misunderstood though.

Great videos, thanks for posting them.
