Brake bleeding with durametric
Have bled brakes on the 08 boxster S and still have some air in the PSM/ABS system. I have the durametric to activate the system, but have not been able to find a step by step procedure for the process. Anyone have any insight into the exact procedure? thanks for any help.

As a new owner of a Boxster S what is the downside if you bleed the brakes without activating the PSM/ABS system? I like to do maintenance items on my cars myself but don't own a duramatic diagnostic tool.

JFP, just out of curiosity... If you install a GT3 master cylinder and use a bleeder system that PUSHES the fluid from the bleeder back to the reservoir do you think that you may get away with a proper bleeding without activating the ABS/PSM pump? Your comments are always appreciated. . |

Thanks for the feedback.
My next question that I have and I should know this but don't. Does the Boxster S clutch work of a pneumatic cylinder that you should also bleed. I had a BMW a while back and when bleeding the brakes you also needed to flush the fluid from the clutch master cylinder which wasn't easy to get to working from a floor jack. |

It seems to be a popular mod by the guys that track their Caymans, reporting a much firmer brake pedal. However, I have not replaced mine (yet)... The master cylinder for the GT3 has a larger diameter than the standard CS master cylinder. On the Cayman website (Planet9) they have the different part numbers for the masters . |
Not surprised, that master is designed to work with an entirely different system than is in you car; everything, from the bias settings to the stability management and ABS function could be thrown off by this change. The master that is in your car is plenty big enough and gives a rock hard pedal with braided stainless lines and fresh fluid.
