Thanks for the reply thom4782. I can confirm that this Boxster thankfully has the dual row. Thanks to all the great info on this forum, I checked for that during the purchase process by looking up the motor's serial number and identifying it is one of the early 2000's before they made the switch. So that's good news that at least reduces the probability. But as you say, doesn't eliminate it.... just not sure what that last remaining noise is.
