Added a few pics. Turns out that it isn't that easy to take pictures of the engine without a lift...

What is that steel cable in a few of the pics? Never seen/noticed that before.

It's the arresting cable. Oh wait, it's not a turbo.

The engine is installed in a Boxster, they all have that cable. Guess it's part of the crash protection.

Intake is standard, it's just the oil sump that's X-51.
