There are quite a few on here who really know their stuff, and you know who they are. Several give real time and good answers for the problems we have, others do the 'cryptic thing'.
Cryptic answers tell me "I know more than you". I understand that, it's why I ask questions here. Ask me a question about anything from a 948 Bugeye Sprite to a 1995 Jaguar V12 and I'll help. I'm (semi) old school. Not familiar with many of the aspects of the Boxster, and come here for answers. I love to share my knowledge with others. I know that, if they ask, they are enthusiasts and willing to try, not (necessarily) just looking for the cheap way out. If they can't handle the task, they will bring it to my garage. I have enough large projects (early British restorations) to pay my bills, the small stuff just fills the parking lot and adds to the fray...
OK, rant over... Peace out folks.

It happens because "the pro's" often utilized tools and techniques that you don't have access to, so telling you exactly how we do it is not going to work for you without spending a couple grand to obtain the tools used, as was the case with the Porsche pin out box in your example.
But by telling you the probable causes of your specific issue, you could employ some ingenuity and more basically available tools to get to the same place.
