I would be hard pressed to drive any car that got that much air in the system.

I'm sure Tool Pants can chime in to let us know what that much air does to the master cylinder, let alone the ABS system.
Getting air into the ABS system requires the use of a PST II/PIWIS diagnostic unit to get it out..................bad idea.

One comment/question regarding the pressure bleeder. The write-up suggests 20psi but I've heard that 14-15psi is as high as you want to go to protect the seals. Is it that 14-15psi is overly conservative? I've bled my M3 many times with 14psi with no problems but haven't needed to flush the Boxster yet. Thanks, and good write-up.
