The turbo also kicks in around 4500 rpm. The black gauge on the right is the oil temp... though I dont know how to read it. Marty, that black box hanging above the light socket is a boost controller.

I know it's nasty outside but if you could snap a pic of the oil temp gauge I can attempt to de code what ever it is that you dont understand.

Thats awesome Remmy! I had that same problem with my hood release. I never fixed it though. I just kept a pliers in the car. Sounds like you got yourself a good one!

The oilt temp is a greddy that goes from 1-10. On average it sits at 4 or 5. The car temp on average is about 3.5 8ths at all times so it is running very well.

Yes, I did get your im. For some reason i cant reply. I think its the phone.


Ill try really hard to get some pics a little later.

I don't think (stock) Boxsters sound that good, honestly. They're really quiet, more than I would expect. *shrug*


but really I'm bumping this thread because I want to see pictures!

like just one of you giving the "thumbs up" to the engine bay
