You can just buy aftermarket replacement tops with glass window for 986 on eBay.

If the OP is still around, or anyone else who has done this, does moving the compressor require a regas of the aircon? How long did the whole process to replace the power steering pump take?

Have you had a look at a Apexi S-AFC Select? It's a cheapish voltage/amplitude/frequency/whatever modifier, I suppose. It has a wiring diagram for the Boxster in it.
