1) hope the computer can adapt (if you search on this forum there is at least one person who has done such on track cars and had no issues);
2) expensive custom tune (Pedro is probably your best and least expensive option here); or
3) try to use an ecu map for a 996 3.4 e-throttle pre-variocam+. this map is designed for the larger maf housing diameter and *should* work on your car. cost would be the amount of time it takes your mechanic to push it with a piwis or pst2 (3 minutes). I eventually want to test this out but would love someone else to prove the concept ...

Is the 987 airbox a direct bolt on that I can swap? if not what needs to be done to make it work.
I understand now that the GT3 TB is too large and will do more harm than good unless I change the MAF, which I don't plan to do.
Can I use the 76mm 997 TB, 987 airbox, and Techno Torque plenum?
Will this affect the MAF and will I see any performance gains with this setup?
Thanks
