Recommendations for Mechanical Work?

However, are there other items I should be getting checked / replaced at this mileage that may / may not be noticed during the PPI? I've seen comments about replacing the AOS, the engine mounts, etc., so I'm trying to compile a list of items that I should keep an eye on.

Yes, the shop that you choose fore the work should have attended our classes. If so, they will carry out an extensive pre- qualification procedure to ensure that your engine is healthy enough to be retrofitted.

For the record...I've done all my own work...no shop involved and as strange as it sounds, the Boxster is one of the easiest cars I've ever worked on. Total surprise to me. TOTAL SURPRISE.

I think I've spend between $300 and $350 so far on everything I've done.
