Do you get any CEL from bypassing the AOS? Why did you block it off?

Gerardo, what about the extra heat generation?

Very nice!

Hi Carlos,

Don't exactly know what you mean by AOS but no, I don't have any CEL coming on.
As for heat generation, I did have this issue before already.
One of my sensors (left front radiator) is not working. Looks like it was shorted (burned). That and my other temp sensor in the engine bay (one that triggers the blower) has also given away.
By the way, any tips for me on how to go about replacing this?
We recently have a Porsche dealer on the island but haven't approached them yet.
Temperature does go pass the half way (especially when pushed) point but this was the case before already.
I did have a problem with what I believe was my thermostat. Believed it got stuck closed (not allowing for circulation) so I took it out and had to refill water/coolant and bleed the system.
The is a procedure for this.
By the way. For anyone who plans to do this project or any, I highly recommend buying the porsche boxster maintenance manual by bentley. This is the best money you'll spend!

Here's just a picture of the car.
My dad doesn't want to test his 07 boxster S against me anymore

Very aggressive look. Nice! The front intake vents on the bumper look like they could inhale a small child.

Thanks for the comments!
The front bumper is made by Ruf. Very similar material to the original bumper, though a little heavier.
Everybody who sees the car tell me now I need to do something to the rear end (bumper) but have not found anything really worth it yet.
There was a nice looking one (GT3 turbo style) on e-bay but after inquiring found it to be fiberglass and I fear the cracking of these...
