Thanks!

... the Boxster's power brakes use excess vacuum from the engine to help with the pressure required to apply the brakes.
The vacuum comes from from the engine, via a long plastic hose routed up the side of the vehicle, into the frunk, and plugs into the large round brake boost canister that the master cylinder attaches to behind the frunk's carpet lining, on the driver's side.

Hi Pedro,

That's interesting. Do you think it's possible that the hose went loose? I do have a weird noise coming from the driver side (back).

Brake booster diaphragm?

sounds like the booster line to me. Check by the intake manifold all the way to the front of the car. Good luck. Hope you figure it all out. Or the diaphram like stated below.

Guys,
Little update for y'all!
Brake problem solved. See picture. I had to super glue the hose back as the plastic inside broke.

Now, the Idle is gone completely. No ups and downs like before i fixed the brake issue. If i take my foot off the car dies.

Any idea????? Regardless if it was related to the brake issue or not.
