Is it close? very. If i cant get a new engine to work I will definitely rebuild this one, well actually either way I will build this one as a spare engine but right now I want my boxster working cheap and the notion of having a newer engine with less miles and no more stupid variocam actuator issues and ims issues... oh yeah. If I can put in an 06 m97, I will.
My question is the level of what is involved in putting in the newer engine and how id have to re program my immobilizer and keys and a my vin to the new ecu since I have to pass smog which is very important to me to have the car running. Also my car is a tiptronic so thats also something Id have to deal with.

My point being take a true look at this. The numbers in your original post puts a total at around 4400, now your numbers are about 2400. I don't think you would get a swap and having it running right and have it done quicker for less than or equal to 2400 to fix the existing.
I mean it's your car so do what you want.
