e7lew - your original question is a bit odd given that this is a forum for people who are enthusiasts about Boxsters.

Sounds like a better option might be to trade the Boxster toward a used 996 Turbo and if you're still worried about power they can be modded to over 700HP.

There is a way to do this without disconnecting the vacuum line - I did it on my 911 which has a PSE and it's a fairly simple matter of finding the relay that controls the bypass valves and snipping...
