Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
The correct air/fuel ratio will be achieved bij reprogramming the DME and the cooling has been increased by installing a 3rd (center) radiator. I also installed 550cc injectors and a new fuel pressure regulator.
I will make some pictures one we clean the engine bay

The two things I suggest you take special care about are engine cooling and ignition timing. The denser fuel/air mixture will require some spark advance, which will follow a curve based on RPMs. I've found that a programmable, and real-time adjustable, digital ignition control box is useful.
Cooling of the cylinder heads and the exhaust stream is trickier. The Boxster's exhaust path is short. You could actually melt the catalytic converter's guts if you're not careful. Or, just use a non-cat system. A high-flow water pump should be enough to keep the heads cool, but maybe not. Do the thermal calcs to see if the radiators will be able to shed enough heat.
Good luck with the project. It will be fast and fun. Do it right and it will last longer.
Cheers,
Dave
