So no, I wouldn’t attach a lift there.
I’m not certain where I would attach one.
I normally drop from below without a cherry picker.

The loop is actually bolted to the engine block. It doesn’t put any stress on the throttle body.

The engine is out. To all the Porsche purists this looked unsafe and unorthodox. With that said, the removal went smoothly, there was zero movement on the car with it on the ramps and jack stands.

On a separate topic, my 4 year old grandson was checking out the replacement motor. He handed me a hose and said "look what I found." Can someone identify the hose and its location? I did a side-by-side comparison to my old motor and still couldn't find it. HELP, please.

My first guess, without running to a Boxster to double check, is Power Steering Reservoir vent/drain hose.

Congrats on your progress!

Yep, the infernal hose that pours PS fluid right on top of the engine into all sorts of deep nooks and crannies, that are basically impossible to get to without pulling the intake crossovers!

Congrats on getting 'er done! Is that a floor jack on top of a motorcycle jack underneath that motor? That's bold! Although, I recently pulled the tranny off a Subaru outback with a floor jack under the tranny and a cherry picker to lift the car enough to drag the tranny out. You work with what you have LOL.
