In my humble opinion... you have two choices:

1. Continue throwing money at "it" until you hit the jackpot.

2. Pay a few bucks to properly have it diagnosed, and then repair it... or have it repaired.

Best wishes on a quick and relatievly inexpensive outcome (Read: Option 2).

If you don't have access to a Porsche Piwis Tester to carry out the tests than that might actually take quite a while to diag manually. If you have time and basic test tools (DMM, pressure gauges, etc) then google "Boxster Technical Manuals", download those PDFs & follow as many of the diagnostic procedures as you can, you could get lucky.

PS. Careful with open fuel lines, have an emergency plan ready and in reach.
