The 3.6 X51 or 3.8 (x51 or no X51) is what you should keep an eye out for and just plan to do it if you find one. Myself I have to do the new DME and harness on my 2000 to get a 3.6 in but to me it is worth it, it is all about what you want. I personally wanted more power and did not like any other car I looked at including the C6 Z06. My Boxster is paid off and for me it makes sense but to each their own.

On a 2002 you still need the newer Motronic 7.8 DME to run the VarioCam Plus in the 3.6 as the 02 has 7.2. This is easier than swapping in a 7.8 DME into a 5.2 (97-99) car.
