You could just remove it all, reflash to RoW, then do your emissions testing on a warm day...

Chased same problem for two years. Replaced parts, smoke tested to no avail. Turned out #6 couldn't hold a vacuum. Good luck.

I have the same error codes. As I'm in Houston the SAI rarely runs so the test comes back not ready. I checked the vacuum reserve and the integrity of the system by pulling a vacuum on the black and white check valve. It held vacuum, so in my case it is not the vacuum reserve. I'm very interested in how others have repaired this code.

Do you have a Durametric? How many miles on your Boxster? Here is what cleared my P0410 alarm:

Agree. Reflash and dump all this junk to the garbage.
