Finishing up the wiring. Decided to build a new chassis harness from scratch to save weight and simplify things. I'll update with more pictures soon.

Wiring is DONE! Other than the ABS system, the chassis harness was built from scratch. The engine management is stock from the 2007 WRX donor and fit in the stock Boxster location using all stock mounting points. We were even able to use the stock Porsche ECU mounting studs with the stock Subaru ECU and relays. Everything powers up and the engine cranks. Still need to plumb the oil system, fuel system, and cooling system, but then we should be able to fire it up and get it on the dyno for some tuning.

You need to replace the shift mechanism with a 997 unit.

When I upgrade the shifter, it will be to a CMS unit with custom cables.
