You have multiple things going on. P0410 and 1411 are both for the SAI system and not related to the others. I would tackle these separately and try to address these once all the others are resolved....

Exactly. When I went back after months to get the alignment finally done, I told the guy at the front desk that I think steering rack was fine and there was no point to replace it, but I replaced it...

I don't see the point in that because I can't tell for sure they were trying to inetntionally rip me off. Most likely they were not. Just the technician identified a number of things faulty in the...

Steering rack diagnostics at shop - excessive play?

Thanks for the tip; I might do that if I can't find a used one. A Boxster S ended up at the pick&pull junkyard the other day but I got there too late and it was taken already.

Right side front fender plastic liner wanted

The previous owner forgot to put it back on after tackling the evap I assume, lmk if you have one. It's a large item but I think it should be foldable, to reduce shipping.

I haven't done this particular job but a plausible next step seems to be removing the driveshaft completely. On mine it came out easily when I rebuilt the CV joints, I just had to tap the end of the...

Code P0140 means interruption of signal, you probably know that by now. I would think your wiring somewhere got jammed somewhere due to the collision, I 'd check continuity from the connector pins to...

Someone is selling a pair of cats for the Boxster for $500 which I think is a great price. Allegedly the car they were taken from had only 70k miles. I'll check them out tomorrow. Is there a way to...

I think that connector is for the airbag deactivation bar. It's only used when you fit a Porsche specific child seat. Your problem lies elsewhere.
