Hope you get it to work. Did you already install the engine? Any pics of how it sits in there. Seems like it is longer and taller. I actually have both (own a TT and Boxster) and must admit that I can totally see why you would want that engine in there as my TT will blow the doors of even a S with just slight mods on the 1.8. I built an all forged 2.0 stroker (integrated engineering kit) that is going in next with a big turbo so that I can give TT911s a run for their money. Boxster remains stock as to build to the level that the TT is would cost 3 times as much. Besides, Boxster is a nice handling slow cruiser while the TT is a zippy daily commuter with a much nicer and more comfortable interior.
