Let us know what you find
I understand parts of the 928 wiring diagram... so I have a good start.
So from what I can see on the wiring diagram that I have for the Boxster is that the 4-pin connector is for 2000 and the 2-pin is for 2001, which is coincidently what my engines are... a 2000 and a 2001. I didn't follow all the connections, but there seem to be 2 sensors on the 2001 engine, the "temperature sensor engine" and "NTC water compartment" sensor, each with 2 connections. They are side by side on the wiring diagram. For the 2000 engine there is a single "double NTC cooling water motor temp" sensor with 4 connections.
Changing the connector on the wiring harness would likely not work. I hope that the ECU knows how to handle this, I will assume that it sees the 4 lines coming in as the same thing whether they come from one 4-pin connector or two 2-pin connectors.
Therefore, install the connector that fits the wiring harness on the engine. (duh... sometimes my brilliance blinds me
