In order to get the 7.8 3.6 into your 7.2 boxster you will need a 7.8 DME, reflashed to 3.6 engine management, and have to re-pin the harness to match the new DME layout.... you can get MOST of the info from the Bentley... it has 7.8 pin assignments, but they are a little off at times.... the bentley however does not have wiring diagrams for the 7.8, only 7.2....

Ok in here you say that 01 cars have SOME CAN bus stuff and mention specifically the instrument cluster.
I know in e-mails back and forth you said that an 01 has mostly all CAN bus but here it seems your suggesting only the instrument cluster is CAN bus. What about all the other items mentioned? I hear so many different things about 01 02 cars and depending on the date of the post it seems that 02 got all CAN bus, and then in later posts it seems that 01 in fact had all CAN bus.
Sorry i am confused and just would love some clarification.
What are you guys paying for USED 7.8 DME's? whats a good price? I checked Sunset and NEW they are $1185 and would come with whatever engine map you want i assume. I wonder what it costs to buy ANY 7.* DME and then when i decide to have the 3.8L X51 engine what it costs to have the service department flash the DME to run that specific engine.
Whats the going rate for the used DME, and whats the going rate for a reflash by Porsche to a different factory engine map?
