This is a great tip!! I did some major maintenance on my 2003 Boxster S: clutch, fly wheel, intermediate bearing, seals, clean throttle body, plugs etc. All went well until I tried to get the intake back on the throttle body. I tugged pushed, pried, lubricated, strained for two hours. Exhausted and defeated I finally packed it in for the night. Came in and found this post, next morning rigged up my wire, almost had it and the wire broke, tried again and pop - on it went. The toughest part of a big job! Many thanks for this tip, I can't believe how tight a fit it was.
