I did my spec boxster with an absolute minimum of wiring left. I removed the light switch, ignition switch, stalks, fuse box, relay holders etc. I kept full beam lights, single speed wiper only. Mil spec high amp toggle switches replaced the porsche switchgear. I used aftermarket fused distribution panels that weigh a quarter of what the Porsche fusebox weighs. All the large connectors that were no longer populated, i replaced with smaller ones to save a few oz. The harness is now very simple, and troubleshooting is a piece of cake.

My advice is buy the proper de-pinning tools and take your time. remove the pins and the entire wire rather than cutting. You can remove 95% of the unneeded wiring quite easily. The last 5% can be a little tricky. Dont be afraid to plug the harness back in and test that the car still starts.

One exception to the wire cut will be the W line going from the alarm box to the DME. Cut this and extend the wire to allow relocation of the alarm box to up under the dash.
