IMO, the Boxster already has a Cold Air Intake.

All the intake air is drawn through the side intake, none from the engine bay.

The existing airbox is pretty well insulated from engine bay heat, unless you're thinking of thermo-insulating the plumbing.

The only significant way to improve it would be to shorten the path by installing a Ram duct somewhere on the rear deck, and then you'd have to worry about hydro-lock in inclement weather from water injestion.

Besides, Cold Air intakes are the realm of forced induction. If you aren't compressing the charge, the difference between ambient air temp and that which reaches the plenum is insignificant for NA, especially for a Street car.
