Hi I looking for advice and ideas about my project.
I want to put PORSCHE 986 BOXSTER S engine and 911 996 Carrera 2 tiptronic gearbox to my VW T3 Vanagon. It is necessary to use 911 transmission because in VW engine is behind the rear wheel location.
I bought 2002 Boxster S with tiptronic after accident and Porsche Carrera 2 tiptronic gearbox from 2000 year to do this project. At now all project is waiting in garage so I decide to find some information on this forum.
After chat with few people we are worry about Porsche tiptronic ECU. We don't know yet which gearbox ECU use should it be from 911 or Boxster S?

If you think can be others problems feel free to tell about this here.
All yours advice are welcome and I will be grateful for your interest.
