I think what you are really asking is whether its an easy enough job for the average DIY'er and wont take too long.

If you have a backup vehicle and time to work on it then DIY is a good choice as you will save money, learn the anatomy of the car and have some fun with your hobby.

If you don't have the time, or don't particularly enjoy wrenching on the car and have funds to spare or need your car in a hurry then leave it with the Indy.

I don't feel that its any more difficult than most other DIY projects on the car.

I would go with the Bentley Manual as you can view many if not all the 101 Boxster Projects online in the Pelican Tech articles for free.

After our many conversations, I'm pretty sure you can do it. These cars generally are easy to work on.
