I have not yet. I plan on doing it though. It's not a huge issue and depending on the car's transmission will depend if the starter get's in the way. The trans on the left is a 6 speed and the Tiptronic trans has the starter in the same higher location, so it get's in the way.
Just talked with the man at Softronic. He said using the larger 987 MAF Housing will yield no gain with the 996 TB, is could also hurt the cars performance even with a tune. He also said do not go to a larger TB, like a 82mm TB on a stock 3.2L engine (no internal engine changes). It will actually hurt the cars low end performance. The 996 TB he says is what to go with and stick to the 986 MAF housing.
So all I have to do now is get my exhaust upgrades done, forget the larger 987 MAF housing. I will be getting a tune from Softronic as I want every bit of HP I can get out of this engine.
