Wink 3.4L Swap ECU..............

Rich, I got FVD USA to do mine. You can use your existing Boxster ECU if you have a 98 or 99 2.5L Boxster as the ECU is the same as that from a 996. Good luck with your swap!

Smile GHL Exhaust Video

Great video clip! I got a GHL as well on mine. Yes still resonance 2-3K RPM. Less with a 3.4L swap. One main reason is the redline is higher and you can hang around 3K RPM+ and avoid that spot...

Thumbs up Swap.............

Do your research, but I spent alot months mulling over SC or 3.4L on my 99 2.5L. In the end the 3.4L will cost more, but it is Naturally Aspirated and more reliable. This piece of mind is worth it....

Steve,

To answer your question, no, you do not have to drop the engine. It is a tight spot but accessible if the car is jacked up. Better if it is hoisted. I do swear that this part took the...
