That was my intention, but the sensor from the original engine is 4-pin and the wiring harness connector on the replacement engine is 2-pin. I don't want to hack the wiring harness... and a new connector will likely cost as much as a 2-pin sensor ($15 for a non Porsche replacement). I'm just wondering if there is a important difference between the 2 parts.
