A few ides:
I could buy a correct year/displacement used(107,000 miles) engine from LKQ on EBay for $3700. But although it may run, it is a total gamble on how long it would run before needing the same rebuild my current motor is begging for.
The reason for my interest in the '06 Cayman engine was it has only 8000 miles(yes eight thousand) and has the later year upgrades like VarioCam-plus ,big IMS etc.
But the unknown(to me)electronic mysteries of converting a Tiptronic engine harness/7.8 DME to a manual 7.2 DME body are overwhelming.
If that challenge frustrated Jake, I am humble enough to listen to his advice.
If someone had a plug & play kit for the electronic/DME issues I would jump at the Cayman 3.4 engine.
