My responses (others may vary):

1. 60K-80K is about normal. It depends on the type of driving (city vs hwy, etc.). I've heard of them needing replacement with as few as 40K miles and others going beyond 100K.

2. Yes - to a point. The parts are interchangeable up through 2001. When the 996 changed headlights in 2002, the bumpers changed and won't work on the 986. Not sure about the fenders from '02 on. The hoods are the same throught the range.

3. Turbos on Boxsters are an iffy proposition unless you change the internal components to lower the compression. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

4. No - at least not without changing the entire dashboard. A lot of work for another half cubic foot of storage.
