Boxster parts diagram has two pulleys. The deflection roller and the tensioner roller.
The serpentine belt is installed by unloading the tensioner (roller) pulley, removing and replacing the belt and releasing the tensioner. No need to touch the idler pulley to r&r the belt.
This reply does not address the torque spec for the bolt holding the idler pulley
