i'd be interested to know where the costs, issues, etc., were on this project. i'm thinking more gt3 than turbo engine, so I presume less space required.

also, a lot of guys seem to go through a lot of effort to match the metzger engine to the boxster transmission; would it not be easier to use a g96 transmission and reverse the final drive? fitment issues? modified engine and transmission mounts?

one issue is the location of the oil filter - is there any way to relocate it? otherwise you gotta cut the firewall.

otherwise, it should just be fueling and ecu issues, no? adapting these to a Metzger should be no different than some of the 996/997 conversions already happening.
