I have many years of Fab and Auto tech experience. Things I need to know is can I use the Boxster engine harness and ECM? Also what other necessary mods to make it work….

Yes you can use the harness you just need the wiring diagram to make it work. Good luck with the conversion. Will you be doing any mods to the motor while it is out (i.e. X51 head work or cams)? I most defiantly would do a lightweight fly wheel and stay away from the intermediate shaft bolt. My porsche mech says that over tightening is the main cause for failure.
