Here is my opinion. I am a short time Boxster owner ( couple weeks ). Have done maintenance on my other cars ( MB and BMW ) but not sure about this one.

Looks to be a little challenge just to get to the engine much less really do any work. Reading through the EVO intake instructions kinda confirms that something that is normally pretty easy will be a lot more difficult on the Porsche. Not sure how much maintenance I will attempt on this.

Also shop labor is $150/hr ( more than both MB and BMW around here ).
