For those of you following along at home.. this is what we are talking about :
Something else of note that we do to these cars: we install 996/BoxsterS oil coolers. They are nearly double the capacity.

Oh man, you have to admire the engineering behind the boxster to be quiet without all the sound deading.
Is that oil cooler your talking about the oil cooler below the intake manifold?

Correct on the oil cooler. You can see it below the intake in the pic above.
The X51 oil cooler is nearly double the size of the BoxsterS cooler!!!

Interesting, Is there enough room under the manifold to fit the X51 oil cooler or would that be over kill for a boxster?

I don't believe it will fit  The main difference between the Boxster and 996/997 intakes: the 996/997 is TALLER (they have more room) The runners are longer before it becomes "plenum" so they have more room to stack stuff on the top of the engine.
Porsche has a lot of engineers.. I only add the larger coolers to the early cars that will be tracked or DE'd.
