996 Clutch / Flywheel in Boxster?

[insite]

i'm wondering if it's possible to mount a 996 flywheel & clutch in a boxster. getting ready to do my clutch and a light weight flywheel. fidanza doesn't make a flywheel for the boxster anymore, but they DO make one for a 996. since they're about half the price of Aasco, i'm wondering if i can put it in my car and replace my clutch with a 996 version. will this work? are the ring gears the same? clutch splines?

According to others that have swaped 3.4 Ltr motors into Boxster the 996 flywheel will not fit.

As stated, the 996 and 986 flywheels are not interchangeable.

Fidanza also doesn't make a LWFW for the 996, it was a misprint in their old catalog, it was a 993/964 part. The current catalog has been corrected and lists no boxster or 996 applications. I paid $800 including shipping for my Aasco flywheel which I think is reasonable. Just make sure to use a sprung disc with it and not the factory style solid disc made to work with the dual mass unit.
