Hi Seningen,

According to another site and base on the Porsche part list, 02 and 03 has different DME. The 7.8 was introduce to Boxster starting 03, so 02 are still 7.2 DME.

My 02 engine has Variocam with single control line. The 03 engine with Variocam has two wires. I heard early Variocam have ON/OFF response like vtech. The newer version has infinite adjustment, not sure what year if that limited only to Variocam Plus.

I hope i can reuse the existing 03 harness, i'm willing to modify if needed. I just need the wiring mods. Hopefully someone has actually done it>?

Thanks,
XR
