HP gains are so expensive for these cars.
Good exhaust $$$$ some gains, better throttle response Weight savings

Spend the money on maintenance replacement parts, AOS , Water pump, Thermostat, coolant tank, suspension components.

You'll have more fun with your Boxster if runs without issues

I've done 6 and 7 on his list. Waiting on headers to get here to finish 8 on his list. I've been very satisfied with the performance increase of the intake work.

I like his recommendation of putting money towards things that may need attention first.

Would you please explain how you would do this in more detail please.
"Increase the air flow into the engine by decreasing the resistance provided by the air cleaner."

luv2box has a differing opinion on the advisability of decreasing the filtration effectiveness of the air cleaner while also decreasing the resistance.

My list offers the possibilities.

If each is a wise move, I'll leave to the reader.

Actually Mike we do not disagree on your opinion of how to increase air flow we just have differing opinions of the long term effects of oiled air filters on a motor. When I first bought my Boxster I read your entire web site for information about it and have always been grateful for your insight. Let's not let a disagreement over one thing ruin the fellowship of owning such a great car.

Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods.....all the best athletes had coaches and practiced and took lessons. No matter how good you are at something, you can always learn and get better.
It's less about what you know/don't know - it's more about practicing and enhancing your knowledge. IMO

I went with a 987 air box to increase the filter surface area and a K&N air filter.
