should fit the boxster (with larger throttle body). nice unit.

Either those guys don't know what they're talking about or they're lying, but the in-plane thermal conductivity of CF reinforced polymer is VERY high, often higher than copper. Out of plane (thin direction) is low conductivity. The plenum will get warm faster and ultimately transfer more heat to the intake air than a plastic plenum would.
