If you can't find anyone local I can help you out with the programming and provide you with the pin you need for the DME connector.

The pin I do need. As for the programming I do not have anyone local here. I live way out on Long Island NY about an hour and a half east of NYC. There are many porsche shops but no tuners. If you could PM me and let me know what your thinking. Thanks again for all your input.

This is a useless photo that I stumbled over on my photobucket page from when the car was supercharged.. I just thought it was cool. More info on the swap below the photo. 
Tonight I took the 2.5 intake manifolds off and removed the harness from it. I also relocated the oil pressure sensor and plugged the whole from which it came from. Also replaced the hose from the top of the oil cooler on the 3.4 to the hose from the 2.5. Swapped the A/C lines but did not get to the P/S lines. I am not too sure on how one of them comes off so I am going to wait until some one can help or tell me on that one. Also Swapped out the wiring for the alternator, that was a direct swap also. Removed the oil filler tube from the 2.5 and I am still waiting on gaskets and O rings to put those parts back on. I started to plug in the boxster harness on the 3.4 while all the clips where still fresh in my mind. That is when I stopped for tonight. It is cold and the Kerosene makes me see things. LOL. Sorry that I didn't post any photos. I took a photo of the oil pressure sender but it is not that exciting to see. As for the harness swapping and all that. It is all straight foward for the most part so I left that out also. I don't want to re write Todd's PDF just share what I am doing and what I feel might be important to others who may do this.

That's awesome. Wish I was handy enough to do something like that myself.
Btw, are there any concerns about the 5-speed tranny being able to handle the extra power of the 3.4? I know a guy who has a 3.4 installed in his Boxster also, and he said he was on his 3rd 5-speed tranny already. He tracks his car though. I've driven his car, and the extra power is definitely a nice kick!

I assume you mean the hard line that connects directly to the reservoir. If so, hold the red ring evenly against the reservoir with the sides of a pair of needle nose pliers or the like. It is essential that it is evenly pushed in, while holding it against the housing, simply pull the hard line out of the housing. To reinstall, just push it back in.
Hope that is clear.
Boxtaboy,
I think your friend needs to invest in a trans oil cooler if he is going through transmissions like that (or driving lessons ). I have over 107k miles on my car with the original transmission. The car has been a supercharged 2.5, a 3.4, a 3.6 and a 3.6 X51 for most of those miles.

Does he advise "Go that way very fast. If something get's in your way, turn."?
