Scott Slauson is one of the Porsche mechanics who answers questions for PCA members. With regard to engine swap:
There is actually a company that is just starting to do this called SOFTRONIC Inc.. They will be going to offer detailed instructions and parts to do these conversions. The company will also be including a USB to OBD2 cable that will allow you to flash the car to the proper MAP in the DME. Bassically everything except the engine will be in the package for the DIY or shop. You can reach them at
Info@SOFTRONIC.US or go to any of the .COM's like PorscheConversion.com,996Conversion.com or in this case BoxsterConversion.com for the contact information.
