Hi kbod,

According to Wayne in his Projects book, page 38, Boxster 2001 (2.7 Liter and 3.2S):
(4th bullet)
"To install a Carrera 996/997 3.6/3.8 engine or a 2003-2008 Boxster/Cayman engine into one of these cars, you need to purchase a new 7.8 DME and then slightly modify the pinouts on the DME connector. In addition, you need to modify the Boxster engine wire harness, as the camshaft position sensors are located on the opposite ends of the engine than on the five-chain early motors. All of the systems on the car should work normally with one exception - the cruise control will not work properly with the later 7.8 DME unless you upgrade your ABS system as well (swap out the ABS controller and connector.)"

Hope that helps.
