In a previous post, I was looking for ideas on a basic essential toolkit for working on boxsters, didnt get any ideas and was wondering if you need "stimulus".

I was thinking it probably begins with the right garage environment and an apprentice, I have attached a photo of my environment, notethe special workbench and test equipment, its a 3 group model in case you urgently need more than one on those tricky jobs. Apologies to our english friends it not made of china :-)

Seriously if anyone has a list of tools , would love to know.

A good set of metric wrenches and sockets (10mm to 19 mm).

A set of smaller Torx drivers (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35).

A good torque wrench (that has not been dropped) (0 to 150 ftlb).

An average torque wrench for wheel bolts only (0 to 150 ftlb).

A good jack and a hockey puck ( to protect the underside when lifting the car).

Jack stands and/or sturdy ramps.

If you have a laptop computer then the Durametric Software for OBD II diagnosis and fault code resetting.

Those seem like a good start to me... :D

Good thoughts hadnt thought about software

Do you know of any logic to the use of tork screws and security screws, eg the MAF uses security screws and the ICV uses tork screws?

ICV bolts are larger Torx (maybe 40 or 45) as I recall.

Also, a good set of metric hex wrenches would be handy too.

Well, depending on your need there is one security Torx for the MAF. There are also a few triple square bolts (seatback locks on Carrera's and some transmission drain plugs). I think you buy those as needed.
