PCM 3.1 in 997

Does anyone know, if its possible to retrofit a 3.1 PCM into a 997, which has the 3.0 PCM? If yes, has this been done successfully, who has expertise with this?

Could you point me in a direction then? To any members, who have done that, or a shop that does this?

Thanks Paul,
maybe I am misunderstanding something, that PCM on your picture, looks like a 3.0, I am wondering, if a 3.1 can be installed, the same as in a 991.

Don't think the PCM 3.1 is possible as its a completely different shape so won't fit in the 997 dashboard.

Hey man, just wondering why you would want to keep the PCM? There are so many better aftermarket options out there that are easier to use and much cheaper.... main point being easier to use.
