Hi ...Mike here...I have a 98 2.5 boxster. It has a rattle coming from the L/H side of engine. It comes in at around 3,500 to 4000 rpms stationary and also on hard acceleration- under load.100000 miles on the vehicle. I've removed the three timing chain tensioners. 1 out of the three feels very soft. This is the IMS chain tensioner. Should they all be equal tension when manually pressing them in? Thanks for any info you can give.

Usually they feel the same, all difficult to push in. You may have a faulty tensioner. Double check the the tensioners are also int he right place. Each one has marking, (rings) that match the location the engine.
