The last step was wiring everything together. I placed most of the components in the engine compartment and figured out how to hook it all up. Definitely the most fun part of the project!

Hi again,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of vacuum assist pump did you use? How about the power steering pump? MR2? I'm glad to see you decided to keep the power brakes and steering. I would like my Boxster conversion to retain as much functionality as the original as I can. I think it goes a long way towards silencing the nay-sayers! :)
One more question: what did you do about environmental controls? Do you have heat or AC?
Best,
Alex
