Anyone have thoughts on that?
From others past experience I recommend a live dyno tune to get A/F ratios and ign timing exactly right based on your chosen fuel and setup. FI on a Boxster has a very narrow tuning window between making more power safely and connecting rods sticking out of awkward places. Tuning is not where you want to save money with a off-the-shelf solution. IMHO

This car will definitely not be "street legal" and subject to impound in CA due to CARB anti-tampering laws requiring unmolested intake and exhaust, but it may actually pass a smog inspection if the tech is unaware of your changes and it runs clean with functional cats. Welcome to commiefornia.
