Any engine 2000 or later motor is an egas motor. It uses a different DME, different Motronic software version, different wiring harness, different accelerator assembly and different fuel tank, lines and vapor recovery system.

This is not a minor job. It is expensive, complicated and time consuming to convert a non-egas car to an egas engine.

Consider that Boxsters of your model year have been changing hands for as low as $5000, and it really makes no sense at all to do such a swap.

Cheers!
