Pedro's TechnoFlow Hi-Flo Air Intake

I'd strongly advise against the K&N air filter. The oils off the filter messes up the mass airflow sensor. That's why the filters are cheaper for the boxster then most any other car.

The only reason the air flow sensor get's messed up is from overoiling the filter. You need to use the spray oil sparingly, then let it drain on a paper towel overnight and all will be well. I have been running K&N filters for years without ANY problems with my maf sensor.

The argument against the K&N is as much their poor air filtration as any risk of over oiling and contamination of the MAF. Over oiling can be cured and the MAF cleaned. But letting in more and bigger particles of dirt to rub against your valves and cylinders goes counter to the reason you have an air filter.
