Not particular on year, so if there's any direct-drop in, I'm all ears to hear it.
Because Porsche constantly updates things, you need to stay very close to your model year or you are going to be in for a lot of work. Fuels systems change, Vario Cam can be completely different, and even the way modules, sensors, and even the dash communicate moved from conventional wiring to CAN Bus technology in just a couple of years. Can the later stuff be converted? Yes, with a lot of work and $, anything is possible; but you end up with a Frankenstein car that no one else can work on, which totally kills resale values.
