Ok,unplug clip from low pres. switch and just jump the 2 terminals on the connector(wire side) assuming there are only 2. 

I can't get the compressor to run and charge the system. Is it because of the low pressure switch. How do I charge if the compressor dosen't run? Thanks V

Yes but don't I have to charge the system so I could charge it with with leak dye so I can find the leak. Then repair the leak evac system and add oil and coolant

Hi all, 08 boxster. AC compressor does not come on. Seemed to have no psi when I went to add coolant. Added coolant to 25 psi but compressor remained off. Please advise how to troubleshoot. Keep in mind I'm doing this in cold weather.  Thanks v

Hi all, So I need the part that part number  997 505 531 00 is bolted to. It's a sheetmetal part that maybe tack welded or just glued in with panel adhesive. I thought the part was 997 501 631 00, that's what I thought I read on the panel. With research I found it maybe PN# 997 501 931 01. It has holes for rubber grommets that hold the frunk release cables. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks V

Bump...answered my own question the incorrect # I had is the cast # the correct PN 997 501 931 01 GRV. 

Ok ...so it just sits in the bumper cut out... no finishing trim or anything.

PN's 987 505 551 00

         987 505 555 00

         987 505 751 00      are these the parts associated with the trim for the bumper cover?

Thanks Loren

Ok I have that... I called it the shroud. There's no trim piece that attaches it to the bumper? Thanks v

Hi all, Picked up used center radiator for an upgrade for my 08 boxster. I have the radiator, 2 hoses, bracket, aluminum support and the shroud. My question is if there's a trim piece that holds the Rubber shroud to the bumper or does it fit thru the opening of the bumper without any extra hardware. Thanks v

Well unfortunately I didn't get it....got wrong hood. My replacement(incorrect) hood is 991 511 011 03. These fitment yrs are 2012-2020?

Got it ...thanks

Thanks Loren, So I should find that part # on all included parts.

Hi all, Have an 08 boxster project car. Ordered a front hood from ebay advertised as 2005-2012 hood for 911,Boxster,Cayman. Are these hoods transferable with all these models. I eye balled it ... Doesn't look like a fit. Thanks V

Can I see it with my durametric?

My 08 boxster displays both TPC and PSM inactive. I believe 2 tire sensors have failed.. since only 2 tires are reading pressure the other 2 just are blank. Just wondering if this would cause the PSM to shut down as well. Thanks v

Said it was like putting your finger on a straw to stop additional brake fluid from coming out. Urban myth?

Ok thanks ...and block the brake pedal?

Hi All, Going to paint my calipers...2008 Boxster Base. It would be much easier to remove them for the job. Any better way to do this, I'd like to get them all off at once, clean, paint and re-install. I read to engage and block the brake pedal to not lose a lot of fluid(going to do a fluid flush anyway). Is it the regular flush/bleed procedure with my brake bleed kit? No PIWIS needed? Thanks Vince 

Thats what I was thinking. Thanks 

I need to refill my expansion tank after replacing it. I only siphoned out the coolant in the tank and did a tank replacement. Lost dribbles of coolant from the hose that has the quick connector, other hoses were pretty dry when detached. My question... can I just fill the expansion tank with the bleed valve open or do I have to pull vacuum and fill it that way with my venturi set up.? Seems like a bit much considering I'm only replacing the coolant that was in the tank. Thanks v

Ok, so I found a fairly thick o ring left over after reassembling the MAF tube. I assumed it went between the MAF tube and air box but now it 

seems very tight for the 2 spring clips to snap in place didn't want to force them. Am I seating it incorrectly ?

Cleaned out bottom of the air box, MAF and MAF tube.....no more stalling and delayed acceleration. Was an easy fix except for the 5 point security screws for the MAF.....what are they thinking. 

Yes it was full of oil. I cleaned the plenums all the way to the flex tube going into the MAF. I only recently removed the MAF tube to find oil in the bottom of the air box. Ill clean it out and spray the maf with cleaner see if it helps. V

Looked like dirty motor oil. Did it migrate there from my bad AOS? Would it cause delayed acceleration and stalling? Thanks v

08 boxster...after a hand full of repairs including AOS and throttle body cleaning my car had sluggish delayed acceleration and would stall while idling. I pulled the tube that houses the MAF and found some oil droplets in the screen and evidence of oil on the MAF (not on the wire sensor) but in and around it. I also noticed a puddle of oil downstream of the MAF in the air box tube ....would this be the cause of my problem. Should I give the tube a good cleaning and spray the MAF w/Maf cleaner and see if that works. Thanks V

Ugh...Seems I stopped the oil leak by replacing RMS and IMS gasket. Also installed new fly and clutch. Went for a test drive all was good then 20 mins into the drive I started to experience what seemed to be the trans slipping not too sure. Happens around 2000-2500 rpm feels the rev limiter kicking in. I loose power then it grabs and takes off. Happens in all gears. Don't know what it is. Can't really tell if its the trans or something with the engine.   Praying I don't have to pull the trans again. Wasn't doing any of this before pulling the trans. 

I also was driving a little aggressively... wasn't aware of any break in period for new clutch. After further investigation I think it's an engine issue. If I rev the engine when parked the engine sputters then catches up....doesn't stall but sounds like it is. Maybe I disturbed something while doing the trans job. Still...any thoughts would help.
