Air filter swap time

before and after air filter

After one year – Boxster’s intake noise has become boomy again – which I think is a sign of a dirty filter. So I did a quick swap. Of course quick isn’t really fast – half-open top, unclip hood, bungee it all back, remove speaker, remove soft cover, undo torx30 bolts (memo to self: find short torx30 first!).  remove metal cover, remove air box cover, unscrew filter, swap plastic holder, push back in, reverse everything else.

Nvidia driver issue
