Three weeks into the search I found a 2.7 from a 2001 Boxster for $2,000 plus $300 shipping. I pounced on it, but it took a few more weeks to arrive.
The problem was that the 2.7 liter engine is an e-gas engine and has VarioCam Plus, while the 2.5 has a throttle cable and simple VarioCam.

I'm confused. Everything I've ever read says that the VarioCam Plus wasn't introduced until 2007 in the Boxster.
The reason I care is I have a '99 with a bad motor and I'm considering putting in a 2000 2.7L. Don't wanna mess with the heads.
