So who's doing this swap lately? Seems kind of dead in this thread.
Does anyone have a list of all the current parts needed once you have the kit? I know there's a running Google sheets file but I read somewhere that it isn't complete or up to date.

Fantastic! I know you'll document thoroughly so I'm looking forward to it.
So I was talking to a shop today about helping me with this project and they said it would be a good winter project over about two months. Huh?
I have the swap kit (most of it) and wouldn't have them start till I have everything ready to go. This shouldn't take more than a week assuming no parts or bones are broken during the process. Am I missing something here?
Looks like inflation is hitting Boosted Brothers. The swap kit just jumped up by 2200 to 7,743.00. This is without all the ancillary parts, without the Haltech stand alone. A roughly 40% jump in price.

I haven't seen any price jump.
Are you sure about this?
I stalled out on this project back in April, but considering getting back into it over the winter. Is there anyone else here in progress on their build? Looking for motivation (and documentation!). If not, I’m open to selling off the parts I’ve accumulated if there is any interest.

My goal is to dyno a stock engine with my intake, manifold.
just need to find out what ecu to run etc.
I understand that fuel economy is not the reason for making such swap, but otoh since the fuel economy of a 951 is appallingly bad for a car of such low drag coefficient and frontal area, and since VW and Audi cars with 07K engines are much more fuel efficient despite higher drag

Not sure which 07K cars you are referring to, but the explanation for the seemingly bad fuel economy of the stock 951 is simple. They easily get MPG in the mid to high 20s during freeway cruising, but this goes down drastically with a heavy right foot thanks to the old-school engine preservation method of a quite rich air/fuel ratio during periods of heavy load/high boost, despite the fact that they had knock sensing capability (which was cutting-edge at the time).
Even modern turbocharged engines will see MPG suffer under load (hence the modern DFI/highly boosted engines achieving far less MPG than the EPA ratings during real-world conditions), but better combustion chamber design and engine management mean less fuel is wasted with heavy load, assuming the hardware and tuning are matched.
This is all more of a concern for the OEs than with most people here doing 07K swaps
I’m starting my build over the winter, probably in January. I’m in the planning stage now, reading this thread, watching any YouTube videos about 07k and swaps.
this is my tentative plan so far. I have a very pretty 1984 944 NA Porsche, slick top, minty really. It’s just slow for me. I’ll use it since I have it. It will probably need at least a brake upgrade with any additional power.
1) Rebuild a 07k engine. I found a donor engine locally with 100k from a 2006 Jetta. I plan to make it turbo proof with forged pistons, new rods and larger wrist pins. Not sure if the donor engine has a forged crank or not. New timing chain and guides. New valves of a suitable material for turbo. I’m looking at ECS as a possible supplier, I basically will want a supplier with experience that can make recommendations for suitable parts.
2) Buy a lift. I’m currently raising the ceiling in my barn/workshop to 11’
3) Buy a Boost Brothers swap kit. I will definitely get the wiring harness.
4) I might start with a NA build, get it running and then build a turbo system at a future point. I think I can use a SPA turbo exhaust manifold and use an adapter from the turbo mount to a 3” down pipe and blank-cover the wastegate mount.
5) I know there is much more. simple right….what could go wrong? 😜
