2001 Boxster s PSM mystery
 

Hello everybody,

A little over 6 months ago, I became a proud Boxster owner. The car I bought is a bit of a project but I am finding it a joy to work on on and have big plans including a turbo kit.

I am running into a problem finding the routing of brake lines from the PSM precharge pump to the ABS module. The car I purchased was sentenced to death as someones parts car and the entire PSM system is missing from under the hood.

Would anybody here be so kind as to post a couple of pictures of their PSM set up, a picture will all of the covers on and another with the covers removed showing the routing of the lines and mounting location of pre-charge pump?

Thank you in advance for your help, this is a great board and I am sure it will help me through resurrecting one of these beautiful little cars.

Welcome to the forum. Nice to have you. This link might provide the diagrams you need. I have the pdf on my PC for quicker access:

Thanks Whip, I actually have that parts catalog already its a big help in figuring out what parts are required, however, I really need to see how this system looks in the actual car, including clips, brake line routing etc.

Still need help with this
 

I just thought I would bump this to the top as I am growing a bit desperate to find this info. Please let me know if you can help. I am looking for an actual photo of the PSM precharge pump, abs pump, and the routing of the brake lines between the two.

Thanks for your help.

I purposely looked for a Boxster without PSM because I enjoy sliding a bit. Maybe it would be cheaper & easier to bypass the PSM.

May not be an option if the car is going on the street; the DME still thinks there is a PSM, but it is not working, so you are going to get codes. Most inspections require all saftey gear to be fucntional to pass, so it could be a problem......

Believe me, I have thought about this (it would be much easier)....I would like to put it back in though, I can always disable it temporarily if a little tire spinning fun is required. :D

Even if you turn PSM off stepping on the brake pedal turns it back on.

CA does not have any equipment inspections except for smog checks.
