From the link above and other threads... It’s just the country code used for build and delivery of a car to a country that wasn’t a large enough market for Porsche to dedicate a specific code to it. Ex: Germany’s dedicated code is C00.

It can be really intimidating at first. It was one of the most complex cars on the market when it was made. But not compared to modern cars. Nothing is integrated. It doesn't have 7 computers that all communicate, and if one of the little comm wires breaks, the whole car shuts down.
But in the end, it's just parts bolted to parts. A few electronics that can go south, but your 83 Euro doesn't have any spark or ignition computers. For the most part, a high school shop class level electrical knowledge base will see you through.
If you haven't done so already, read through the 'New Visitor' sticky thread. Lots of good info.

Not originally.
It almost certainly had cats added during the federalization process.
Depending on where it was done, it may well have had a lambda box and O2 sensors added too.
This was discussed recently in the "CA Smog Check Loose Hose" thread, now back to page 2. Dr Bob explained it nicely.

Federalization simply by virtue of its name is national, not state. The only caveat is some unscrupulous import dealers tried their best to skip steps if they could get away with it, as bringing a gray market car up to US standard cost $5k-$7K, on some cars up to $15K.
My Louisiana ‘84 gray market 911 Carrera Cabrio had cats, right up until I bought it in ‘86.

Unless you bought it straight off the boat from the importing car dealer, assume that smog equipment was installed but removed by a subsequent owner prior to you.
