What is the temperature sensor on a Porsche Boxster?
This sensor measures the temperature of the coolant and is used to adjust mixture levels as the engine begins to heat up to optimum operating temperature.

How to upgrade the Porsche Boxster 996 gauge cluster?
One of the neat upgrades that you can perform on your Boxster is to install the Porsche 911 (996) gauge cluster into your dashboard. The 996 cluster has two additional gauges, a voltmeter and an oil pressure gauge that you can hook up and make operational.
What kind of gauge cluster does a Boxster use?
The 1997-00 Boxsters can only use the early style, and the 2001-04 Boxsters can only use the late-style. You can easily tell the difference between the two by the color and shape of the connectors on the back of the gauge cluster. Early-style clusters have a blue, white and black connector.
