This most likely end with a bill higher than the cost of a 2001 2.7 Boxster and will most likely have code issues forever.

On my 98 here's a partial list of things that had to be replaced when installing a 2005 3.6 (yours will be similar):

gas pedal and new wiring
DME
Immobilizer
Radio
HVAC panel
Instrument panel
Elected not to replace the ABS, so lost cruise control
