No, you misunderstand, he means another LS6.
Did you put your new ABS pump in the location you mentioned - the battery tray? Did you use stock 944 ABS sensors etc? Dumb question I'm sure but some of us have a lot to learn.

Q,
I have a pair of Boxsters that I am parting out --
I also have a pair of 944 NA ChumpCars --
Brakes are free in the ChumpCar valuation.
What would it take to move the Boxster ABS system
to a 944 that never had ABS?

And obviously you'd have to intercept the existing brake lines and run then into and out of the Boxer ABS pump.

Tony,
I have been considering an E46 system for my car. My understanding is that the stand alone E46 has a superior sampling rate. I also know that a number of teams run that system in Porsche, Mazda and others. I have a clean slate, as we are running all new brake lines on a different route than factory. Example we are running rears in the cockpit through a bias control.
Any thoughts?

Couple that with the fact that you can buy a used on on ebay for around $200-$300, and I have a friend that will make a harness for it for $250... makes it very hard to pass up
As far as the factory line routing goes... I'm not sure how much of a difference it's going to make. We're not talking about a long set of lines to begin with.
As far as a bias control... that's how I had my rears plumbed. When I did the ABS, I took the bias control out and used the factory Porsche bias valve just to see how close it would be. So far so good on the 1 track I've tested it out on. It's easy to put back in if I need it again.

Many use E46 M3 ATE made units. It's supposed to be a good system. Only problem is that it's not a standalone unit. Several companies, like Turner Motrosport, make a special wiring harness, which converts this system to standalone.Negative side is very high price tag of this harness. I suppose it was about $2K

Olli,
You are correct, it does require a special harness. The upside is that you can add a motorsport controller in the future (if I could source one cheap enough). Pricing is right on at about $2K all in.
Tony,
I may go your route, I agree that it should do the trick for a lot less $.
