Low oil pressure at track
I have a boxster S with HD Bilsteins, Eibach springs, X51 oil pan, better oil pressure piston/spring, and Yoko Advan tires.
While in a sweeping turn around 65mph, the low oil pressure warning popped up. I also noticed the pressure around 2 on a few turns.
How do I fix this??

Cerveli's Dry Sump system
or
Add a deeper sump, I ran my S with a 1/2qt extra, my SPB has a +2 QT sump.
I also have a Accusump on my SPB, but only because it came with it, I didn't run one on my S. I only ran Direzza's on track, but I flogged it hard.
Never had any oil lights, but I didn't monitor on track pressures. Idle at hot, it would be 12-14psi.

Most spec boxster guys have at least one spare engine and transmission. Some get lucky, but its a matter of time.
reason they are popular is that they are one of the cheapest ready to go race cars out there, with a large field of cars in most areas, and buying a used 2.5L usually only costs about $2500 or less.
the motors are just flawed, but most guys find out its not worth spending $15k for a built motor when they can just replace blown motors with junkyard engines.
