I’ve also got a Targa, and so far I haven’t had any water issues. The ECU sits where the old O2 Lambda computer used to be, and it’s stayed dry without a problem.

As for dropping the engine, I still don’t think a master plug is necessary. Every wire going into the engine bay can be unplugged somewhere—injectors, spark plugs, cam sensor, oil temp, you name it. Worst case, I snip a few zip ties. That’s about it.
