Can Bus or ABS Controller

[PorscheFan5]

I have a 2004 Boxster base model that I am converting to electric and need to understand/get all info I can on the CAN Bus. Since the engine will be missing once I take it out and all parts related to it, like the fuel system, exhaust system (!) I will need to fool the CAN bus to make some of the basic things work and also tap the CAN bus for signals.

Based on the below thread, I can assume that my 2004 does use CAN bus. What systems (arduino based or otherwise) have people used to hack the CAN bus on the Boxtser?

Any and all info you can provide will be appreciated!
