The ARP torquing procedure is much simpler than what you describe above.
More important ARP use studs not bolts.
If you compare the ARP studs+nuts to the OEM Porsche bolts you'll see the ARP parts are good value IMHO.
Check directly with ARP for the M96 studs - same as 996 engine. They will have the cross reference for the Boxster because I gave it to them. Ask for "Alex" at ARP.
To confirm ,he may ask you for the length of your bolts.
Also consider the rod bearing bolts from ARP.The Porsche ones are known to fail.
Theses are not the items to 'save' on. The incremental cost compared to OEM is very justifiable because the OEM parts are such lamentably poor quality/design.
