Nitrous, that's what most of us on this forum use.

Hahaha... what makes you think that's nitrous? I never specifically said it's nitrous, I just alluded to that. This is actually a collector bottle connected to a sphincter vacuum system in the driver's seat. So, yes, it is most definitely flammable gas. I just don't want any released in my car, I HATE that. To be honest though, I only got the single seat system. I bowed out of the dual seat system as my girl rarely passes gas and better not do it in my Boxster!
Here's a link to their website explaining the system.

Also you obviously never saw the movie Fast and Furious. Dude, that Eclipse SO blew up when the nawz bottles ruptured!!!

I recently installed purge points in the vents on the side of my box, PICS:

As already alluded to, a Driving Course can most often be the biggest bang for the buck.
These cars' abilities usually exceed those of their owners and you'd be surprised how much performance of a stock Boxster remains untapped because the driver hasn't learned how to extract it.
That's where I'd start anyway.
