Just fantastic!
Your comment proves you know your way around the Boxster chassis and are familiar with the space limitations you run into once you start adding components all over the chassis. Keeping all of the plumbing and wiring systems modular and serviceable is definitely a challenge in these mid-engine cars.

The two tanks are aluminum. The rear tank is a coolant expansion tank and the front tank is an oil/vapor catch can. This is probably the same configuration I will use in the street version only instead of the front tank being a catch can, it will probably be a reservoir for the air-to-water intercooler system.
