Sure can Blink! Big HP gains especially if you connect it to a 996 motor

Remember guys, tuning an intake is a lot like tuning a saxophone or a ported subwoofer cabinet. Bigger isn't always better. Consider engine displacement, air mass, air volume, air velocity at target rpm, resonant frequency at target rpm, air turbulence at target rpm when designing your upgrade. A larger diameter TB will allow more air volume but reduce velocity and turbulence and change the resonant frequency. The result is often reduced HP due to less O2 actually packing the cylinders. Porsche designed their high performance intake and TB by the numbers so without a change in engine displacement the motor cannot make good use of larger TB air volume. Drop in a 3.6L motor and then mount a tuned intake and TB... Wham!
