The ODB guidelines state that bank 1 is always downstream of cylinder one. So, Bank 1 would be on the right side of the Boxster as you are sitting in the car driving it (left side of the 996). I'm pretty sure this is correct, although I didn't verify with the Porsche manuals in case they adopted a different standard.
