Yes, plus one better by replacing the water pump, thermostat (165 degree), system flush plus proper coolant/distilled water/water wetter mix. I was glad we did the pump as there where signs of coolant leakage.

For only two months of ownership it sounds like you're in the right hands.
I'll bet 90% of Boxster owners haven't even considered what you've already done.
