Porsche put it there for a reason!

Why are you concerned with drag anyway? Are you trying for a high speed record?

In any case, if you don't want the spoiler to deploy, you probably could get inside it and disconnect the gears and while the motor would still work and therefore no CEL, it would not move.

There probably are alternate methods as some have added fixed wings and disconnected the spoiler and have no codes.
Do some searching here, on boxa.net, boxster register and rennlist boxster forum
I want the spoiler to come up, but I don't think it's needed at 75 mph.

Why am I concerned with drag? Because this is my DD and that causes fuel economy to go down and drag isn't the only thing, I think it looks tacky when deployed for no reason.

I rarely hit 85 mph, but 75 mph is easy when the highway speed is 70 mph and you need to get around another car. So here is this spoiler up for no reason and doesn't come back down until 50 mph.
