Hopefully it holds up,the univeral sensor idea could save ALOT of people ALOT of money!
Think about the $500+ you save,that can be spent on....Door Sills from PnP on ebay($80),a door plug($20),rear speaker kit($230),rear spoiler switch($40),Boxster beenie off eBay($10),Porsche U.S. First Aid Kit($30,mounted right next to the spare tire) and a couple tanks of premuim gas!!!!!!

Just a warning to yall about O2 sensors. They can be killed or stunned admission of silicone or silicone containing chemicals into the engine. This includes AmorAll and rtv silicone sealer(some are O2 sensor safe). Also leaded gas will kill O2 sensors and cats. As far as universal O2 sensors go I would beware on an OBDII vehicle due to the tight tolorences. O2 sensors are actually somewhat different in heater circuit amperages and Temp/voltage correlation. Good luck.

02 sensors are easy on the boxsters, at least mine was. the hardest part is getting the wire disconnected for the sensor behind the cat on the pass side. it's up high, but not impossible. the rest is easy.
