Did u do the install yourself or have somebody else do it?
... mine when the engine let go at 220,000 miles with a used engine.
It was a 2000 tiptronic 2.7 which I got for $2,000 (shipped).
Put in about $2,500 in parts to refresh (rings, seals, bearings, chain tensioners).
Had to rectify my 2.5L heads in order for my engine management to work properly.
So I now have a 2.7 liter block with 2.5 liter heads.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
