Be sure to use the proper PS fluid, not just any garden variety fluid. It requires synthetic fluid. Pentosin chf 11s is recommended and surprisingly can be found in some parts stores.

Boxsters and Caymans have a reputation for having PS issues on the track. My contention is people don't check their fluid level and blame track time for the failures. I check my level before every DE and have never had a problem, including 20-turn COTA.
