Typical timewasters. For every decent buyer there's a dozen time wasters.
You won't get a boxster engine to fit in to a beetle. There's a chap down the road from me who's shoehorned an air cooled flat 6 into a bug and that involved a helluva lot of modification. The boxster engine is watercooled and even more of an effort to even attempt to fit than is practially worthwhile.
If you want cheap power in a bug, put a subaru engine in!
