I did smoke test all weekend. It was incredibly difficult to find the problem. Every time I pumped smoke through it I was getting a cloud coming from both sides. It ended up having smoke coming from the spark plug tubes.

Replaced all 6 of them yesterday. Used the 4.5 inch screw with 2 nuts and 2 washers to get them out. Pushed back in with my hands. Torqued everything down. Just started it up and it went straight to warm up mode then idle without a single pop. Burned off all the excess oil that, I assume, the difference in pressure was creating while testing it. Now I have my Boxster back. Never saw a single engine code while trying to find my problem.
