Yes, my plan was to have the vent line go from the tank to wherever it runs and then leave it there - I am just having problems understanding which one it is under the front fender Everything else I will remove...

In the USA we receive the LEV tune = Low emissions vehicle which includes the smog pump and secondary 02's and maybe a few other monitoring type sensors

In our race cars, we push the stock ROW tune to them, then manipulate that tune to make more power. This cleans everything up under the car and cleans up the engine compartment (less crap)

I'd have to look through the country list to see which tune your car received!

We remove everything...
Interesting! My car is a UK delivered car (it is even RHD), so I would be interested to know what tune it came with. I do know it has 4 O2's as I replaced them recently...

Would be keen to know what I can remove and what the process is - as this is a dedicated racing car I want to make it as light and fast as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is more on the car - "Hello" from a new member

If it has 4 02's it's a LEV tune. The secondary 02's (the 02's that pass through the trunk floor) can be safety wired under the car in fresh air or the ROW tune can be pushed to it and remove them from the system (we save them for spares)

I'd be interested to see a picture of your engine compartment!!

Someday in the near future I'll buy a RHD dash and build one for the USA

We do not have the Boxster Spec over here in Finland. I am driving in the Porsche Sports Cup, and the regulations are more or less a direct copy of the FIA regulations with some extra Porsche stuff included. So I am quite free to do modifications.

So, what is the advantage with the ROW tune, and how do I get it? Apart from the two O2 sensors, what else do I need to change?

Here is some current pictures from my engine...
