Before I get my hopes up about swapping my motor for a 3.4 one day, I want to figure out if my very early 97 boxster's DME can be reprogrammed or not.

I read where some of the earliest Boxsters sold do not have DME's that can be reprogrammed, making a Porsche 3.4 motor swap difficult and far more expensive.

Does anyone know how to check this against a database of DME serial numbers or part numbers?
