Flat 6 Innovations (sponsor at top right) sells the upgraded IMS. The dealer can sell you the Cayenne RMS that will fit.
Best of luck. I see lots of suspension and brake requirements with this size motor in that car to keep it right side up on the road or track.

Thank you for the suggestion! Upon further investigation I found that to be great advice! I will be looking into tuning the engine as soon as I get set on which size/MY I'm going to use. But these catastrophic engine failures seem to be quite problematic in the earlier Boxster models.
As for keeping the car on the road, the center of gravity will be much lower than with VW's I4 mounted in the front, and the wheels will all be wider than they are now with much, much larger brakes. I am currently debating the best suspension system to put in the car. I will be keeping my non-powered steering, which should be fine as far as I can tell.
Keep the input coming!
