Bad news is that all my coils have small cracks, so I'll get those on order. I'll be back under there to do the water pump and thermostat soon. Those part are already waiting on my shelf.

Thanks again for all the good advise and guidance on this here forum I'm really enjoying this boxster rehab.
If your motor mount needs replacement... do it the same time as the WP. It makes the WP installation a breeze.
