As far as I can see with the material I have found, the Boxster has its pressure switch in the right bank. I am pretty sure many have put in a 996 sender in that spot (working from above I had thought). Are you saying any type of adapter will cause height interference???? I was planning to use an autometer m14 x 1.5 male to 1/8 NPT to work with an AEM sensor. Not entirely sure of the thread size in the head yet. There doesnt seem to be any information on the output of the 996 sender; it has to be compatible with the gauge so I am stuck using another sensor and gauge
