Thanks in advance

Yes, different hardware and programming (you will need 7.8 986 DME flashed to teh cayman's engine system).

It's just not software like I said.

yes I have and so have a few other people, but not many... and the real info is hard to pry from some people.

like the above posters said, you will need to re-pin quite a few pins on your DME/wiring harness plus add the variocam plus controllers... and probably lengthen two others... Im not familiar with the small items on a cayman engine, my experience is just with the 3.6 from a 996.
